An example configuration for Tomcat as systemd service. #tomcat #systemd #systemd.service

README

Let Tomcat is download and installed under /opt/tomcat. Also, let tomcat be a non-provileged user under which the server will be running.

We assume that we keep server's binaries under /opt/tomcat and we will create a server instance named foo under /var/tomcat/ (carrying its own conf, logs, webapps, work, lib directories). See also https://dzone.com/articles/running-multiple-tomcat.

Create a template service unit file at /etc/systemd/system/tomcat@.service:

!function() {
var doc = document,
htm = doc.documentElement,
lct = null, // last click target
nearest = function(elm, tag) {
while (elm && elm.nodeName != tag) {
elm = elm.parentNode;
}
return elm;
};
