Hello, I have a module "mywebapp" which calls the tomcat::war module with
specific parameters, to upgrade the war file and restart tomcat. This works
great. What I would like to do is modify the code so that if, and only if
tomcat needs to be restarted, BEFORE it is restarted, I want to perform a
file operation. I want to do this because the operation will tell our load
balancer the server is about to go offline, and not to direct any traffic
to the server. I don't want to do this unless the war file is actually
going to be upgraded, which only the tomcat::war type knows.
The tomcat::war module which looks roughly like this (I'm simplifying for
brevity):
define tomcat7::war (
... params
) {
... variable definitions ...
file { "${tomcat7::sites_dir}/${destFile}":
notify => Exec["clean_${tomcat7::sites_dir}/${contextPath}"],
}
exec { "clean_${tomcat7::sites_dir}/${contextPath}":
command => "rm -rf ${contextPath} ; mkdir ${contextPath} ; unzip
${contextPath}.war -d ${contextPath}/",
cwd => "${tomcat7::sites_dir}",
notify => Class['tomcat7::service'],
}
}
what I would like to do is pass a parameter into tomcat::war so that if
that the parameter is set, the class (or type) referenced in the parameter
is Notified instead of Exec["clean_${tomcat7::sites_dir}/${contextPath}"],
and then Exec["clean_${tomcat7::sites_dir}/${contextPath}"] would be
notified AFTER my code.
This would allow my code a chance to notify the load balancer and pause
before cleaning and restarting tomcat. I don't want the special
load-balancer code in tomcat::war, because it is unique to 'mywebapp'.
Is there a way to do this at all?
