[chef] Re: Using `artifact` cookbook with Tomcat

[Mark Pimentel < >]

You could explode the war somewhere else and symlink the current folder into the webapps/foo where tomcat expects to find things.

I’m using the `artifact` cookbook (https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/artifact<https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/artifact>) to deploy Tomcat applications. The resulting directory structure looks a bit like this:

../webapps
  /foo
    /current -> /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/releases/1.0
   /releases
     /1.0
       ….

So far I have been unable to find the right set of server.xml and foo.xml (context) settings to get Tomcat to recognize that the app isn’t under `/webapps/foo` but rather is under `/webapps/foo/current`

Is anyone else using the artifact cookbook to deploy Tomcat wars, and if so, how are you configuring your host `appbase`, context `path` and context `docbase`?

Thanks,
