Hi Gary,
hm for other classes it works , so i think the puppet backend is not needed
(https://github.com/ripienaar/hiera-puppet/commit/a7350529a99e5d1bad8b03749661f3f4c7f00216),
the problem is the define, i guess that a define won't set $module_path
correct, the hiera cass from the class tocat::instance works perfect.
But i have found better solution, i use create_resources to build the
defines, works really smart
class tomcat::instance{
$instances = hiera('tomcat_instances')
create_resources('tomcat::installer',$instances)
}
define tomcat::installer ($user,$group,$basedir,$logdir,$name){ ....}
---
tomcat_instances:
crowd1:
name: 'cr1'
basedir: '/srv'
logdir: '/var/log'
user: 'crowd'
group: 'crowd'
crowd2:
name: 'cr2'
basedir: '/srv'
logdir: '/var/log'
user: 'crowd'
group: 'crowd'
