I'm using Puppet to manage my Tomcat configuration, including my server.xml file and a potentially shifting set of war files depending on the node. I'm also using Tomcat's virtual-host capability, which involves adding a <Host/> element in the server.xml file for each virtual-host I wish to activate. The tricky bit is that each webapp/war has a different, possibly overlapping, virtual-host. Since I'd rather not list EVERY potential virtual-host in the server.xml file, I'd like some way of collecting the set of activated virtual-host names and then generating my server.xml file with the appropriate entries. I'm not sure how to do this.
One idea is to have a master variable of virtual-host names: something like $Tomcat::hosts. I could use Puppet's variable appending feature to extend the set of hosts: $Tomcat::hosts += ['some.host.name'] The only issue with this is that it could lead to duplicate entries if two webapps have the same virtual-host (a possibility). Is this maybe the purpose of virtual resources? How might I go about using them here? I don't really have any good ideas on this, so any help is appreciated.
