[chef] Re: Tomcat Cookbook and Oracle JDK

[Eric Helgeson < >]

Yep, you can, take a look at the examples in the readme - https://github.com/agileorbit-cookbooks/java/#examples

Just override some attributes and it will install that version.

Also be sure to mirror the oracle binary locally in production, as downloading directly can be troublesome at times https://github.com/agileorbit-cookbooks/java#production-deployment-with-oracle-java

I was taking a look at the tomcat cookbook for chef, https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/tomcat.

It installs the OpenJDK. It doesn't seem to have a facility to change that to the Oracle JDK. I look a look inside the tomcat recipe and yep, it's got:

include_recipe "java"

The java cookbook can install the Oracle JDK, but the defaut installs the OpenJDK. Is there a way I can override this without modifying the java or tomcat cookbooks?
