grunt-tomcat

Easy start and stop a local Tomcat Server

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt.

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-tomcat --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-tomcat');

The "tomcat" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named tomcat to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  tomcat: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    }
  },
})

Options

options.bootstrap

Type: String

The path to the catalina bootstrap file (.sh)

Usage Examples

grunt tomcat:start
grunt tomcat:stop

Default Options

In this example, the default options are used to do something with whatever. So if the testing file has the content Testing and the 123 file had the content 1 2 3, the generated result would be Testing, 1 2 3.

grunt.initConfig({
  tomcat: {
    options: {
      bootstrap: '~/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh'
    },
  },
})

Contributing

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
