consol/tomcat-8.0 repository overview

⁠Apache Tomcat 8.0

A simple docker build for installing a vanilla Tomcat 8.0 below /opt/tomcat. It comes out of the box and is intended for use for integration testing.

During startup a directory specified by the environment variable DEPLOY_DIR (/maven by default) is checked for .war files. If there are any, they are linked into the webapps/ directory for automatic deployment. This plays nicely with the Docker maven plugin from https://github.com/rhuss/docker-maven-plugin/⁠ and its 'assembly' mode which can automatically create Docker data container with Maven artifacts exposed from a directory /maven

This image will enable a Jolokia agent during startup which can be reached by default within the container at port 8778.

The environment variable $JOLOKIA_OFF can be set so that the agent won't start.

More information about Jolokia configuration options can be found at jolokia/java-jolokia⁠
