All -

I’m deploying an app to a Tomcat 7 server that has a set of JAVA_OPTS that need to be placed in `../tomcat/current/bin/catalina.sh`. Therefore I’ve created a template that is the `catalina.sh` file with a place holder where the JAVA_OPTS ought to be. 

# WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied.

# See the License for the specific language governing permissions and

# limitations under the License.

<% @java_opts %>

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Control Script for the CATALINA Server

#

Then in my recipe I have this:

# create properties file

template "/as/app/tomcat/current/bin/catalina.sh" do

  source "catalina.sh.erb"

  mode "0755"

  owner "tomcat"

  group "root"

  variables({

    :java_opts => node['tomcat']['java_opts']

  })

end

And the final piece `attributes/default.rb`

# JAVA_OPTS

default['tomcat']['java_opts'] = 'JAVA_OPTS="-server -Xms768M -Xmx768M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Djava.awt.headless=true  -Dreusestatement.debug.sql=true -Ddevel -DdebugOn=true -DextendedLoggingOn -Dlog4j.configuratorClass=ksutelc.common.log.TelcConfigurator -DdisableProcessingUnhandledExceptions"'

Unfortunately when I run this I’m not getting anything in `catalina.sh` for JAVA_OPTS.

What am I missing or not seeing here?

Thanks,

Mark
