Ansible Playbook To Start Tomcat

Ansible Playbook:

Step 1:

In your group variables:

javaserver.yml

---

SRC:/path-of-source-file/example.war

DES: /destination-path/

CATALINA_HOME: /apps/opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.64

PROJECT_CODE: XYZ

Step 2:

In your main playbook:

---

 - hosts: javaserver

   user: root

   roles:

    - javadeploycode

Here "javaserver" is the group name which is defined in hosts file.

Step 3:

In your javadeploycode directory main.yml is

roles/javadeploycode/tasks/main.yml

# make sure your groupname is same as variable file in step 1.

--- - name: stop tomcat command: {{ CATALINA_HOME }}/bin/shutdown.sh - name: removing old war file command: rm -rf {{ CATALINA_HOME }}/webapps/{{ PROJECT_CODE }}.war - name: removing old file command: rm -rf {{ CATALINA_HOME }}/webapps/{{ PROJECT_CODE }}-application - name: copy war file from {{ SRC }} to destination path {{ DES }} # synchronize: src={{ SRC }} dest={{ DES }} checksum=yes recursive=yes delete=yes # ignore_errors: yes
