why not? try: define create_jboss_inst($inst, $version, $naming_port) { .... service { "jboss-$inst": require => [ Package["jboss-server"], Package["jboss-server-$inst"] ], ensure => running, enable => true, hasrestart => true, hasstatus => true } .... } class jboss { .... file { "/some/file.xml": source => "puppet://$server/jboss/conf/some/file.xml", before => Service["jboss-$inst"], } .... } I think this is what you already had and this is working. If it doesn't please send the error you get. cheers pete --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
