Problem deploying Java app

Chef Infra (archive)
1

Hi all!

I’ve been lurking in this mailing list for over a year and this is my first
time posting here.
Anyway, I was trying to setup a demo Java environment using this tutorial:
http://blog.jamie.ly/programming/2014/03/06/deploying-a-java-tomcat-application-via-chef.html

The problem is that when I try to bootstrap the node I get the following
errors.
I’m also curious of how other companies are deploying Java apps - are you using
the application_java cookbook or some other mechanism?

We wrote our own cookbook to install our java applications. Our opinion was that the open source cookbooks we could have used tried to do too much. So we wrote our own that was much more targeted to our needs.

I haven’t used any of the cookbooks referenced in that blog post. But the error below reference different line numbers than the latest version of the application cookbook on github - GitHub - poise/application: A Chef cookbook to deploy applications. https://github.com/poise/application

Can you update your cookbooks to the latest version and try again? Maybe there was a bug in an old version.

Hi Tyler and thanks for the response

It took me half a day but I manged to figure out that the Tomcat 0.16.x
cookbook introduced some breaking changes that caused this problem. For
the moment I fixed the version number to 0.15.12 and it works. However
the java application deployment cookbook seems kinda broken at times. I
really wish that someone publishes a better version at Github.

Thanks again
Oliver
