CloudFoundry Tomcat 7

A modified version of Tomcat v7.0.29 to run on CloudFoundry, as a standalone app, until Tomcat7 is available as a runtime.

Bascially, this is just what is described here all done for you.

Usage

As a script

If you're working with Maven, read on. Else, just

$git clone [email protected]:ericbottard/cloudfoundry-tomcat-7.git
$cd cloudfoundry-tomcat-7
<Replace webapps/ROOT with your own app>
$vmc push

Maven

A tar.gz package of the contents of this repository is being served from here making http://ericbottard.github.com/cloudfoundry-tomcat-7/ appear as a Maven repository. You can have your project download this package and put your web application in it thanks to the Maven assembly project. Just do the following (maybe using a dedicated Maven profile if you wish):

  1. Add http://ericbottard.github.com/cloudfoundry-tomcat-7 as a Maven repository, either through your repo manager of choice or in your pom.xml:

     <repositories>
 	<repository>
     	<id>tomcat7-standalone-repo</id>
 	    <url>http://ericbottard.github.com/cloudfoundry-tomcat-7</url>
 	</repository>
 </repositories>

  2. Add the following dependency. Use scope provided if you're not using a dedicated profile:

     <dependency>
     <groupId>org.cloudfoundry.samples</groupId>
     <artifactId>tomcat7-standalone</artifactId>
     <version>7.0.29</version>
     <type>tar.gz</type>
 </dependency>

  3. Add the following assembly descriptor file in src/assembly/tomcat7.xml

     <?xml version="1.0"?>  
 <assembly
 xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.2"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.2 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-1.1.2.xsd">
 <id>tomcat7</id>

 <formats>
     <format>dir</format>
 </formats>
 <baseDirectory>/</baseDirectory>

 <dependencySets>
 	<dependencySet>
     	<outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
 	    <unpack>true</unpack>
 		<includes>
 			<include>org.cloudfoundry.samples:tomcat7-standalone:tar.gz</include>
     	</includes>
 	</dependencySet>
 </dependencySets>
 <fileSets>
 	<fileSet>
     	<directory>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}</directory>
 		<outputDirectory>/webapps/ROOT</outputDirectory>
 	</fileSet>
 </fileSets>
 </assembly>

  4. Configure the assembly plugin to use the file added above:

     <plugin>
 	<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
 	<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
 	<executions>
 		<execution>
 			<id>package-inside-tomcat7</id>
 			<phase>package</phase>
 			<goals>
 				<goal>attached</goal>
 			</goals>
 			<configuration>
 				<descriptors>
 					<descriptor>${basedir}/src/assembly/tomcat7.xml</descriptor>
 				</descriptors>
 				<appendAssemblyId>false</appendAssemblyId>
 				<finalName>tomcat7</finalName>
 			</configuration>
 		</execution>
 	</executions>
 </plugin>

Now, when you build your project, you'll get a tomcat 7 distribution already enabled for CloudFoundry with your app set up as webapps/ROOT ready to go. You just have to vmc push --path target/tomcat7
