Basic instructions on using the Apache Tomcat app-package.
The Tomcat application package is distributed as a zip archive. Use the slider install command to install it into HDFS for use. You must also provide an identifying name (such as “tomcat”).
slider install-package --name tomcat --package path/to/slider-tomcat-app-package-0.72.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT.zip
Copy appConfig-default.json and resources-default.json. By default, these files will create one instance of Tomcat using a dynamic port provided by Slider.
In the copied appConfig.json, make sure you set application.def and java_home. Feel free to adjust the memory usage as well.
Use the appConfig.json and resources.json file to create a Slider cluster now. The name of the cluster is user defined and must be unique: this example uses “tomcat1”
slider create tomcat1 --template path/to/appConfig.json --resources path/to/resources.json
Check the Slider Application Master page on the Hadoop YARN status page. You should see the application running and without failures.
Until the QuickLinks/exports is resolved for this app package, the port must be determined manually using a tool such as netstat and the pid of the Tomcat process. Sorry.
