Dockerized Tomcat Service

Javapackage: com.etendoerp.tomcat

Overview

The com.etendoerp.tomcat module enables the Dockerization of Tomcat within Etendo Classic. This module modifies Gradle tasks to automatically deploy the WAR file into the container when executing the smartbuild task.

Info

To be able to include this functionality, the Platform Extensions Bundle must be installed. To do that, follow the instructions from the marketplace: Platform Extensions Bundle. For more information about the available versions, core compatibility and new features, visit Platform Extensions - Release notes.

Configuration Variables

To enable and configure the Tomcat service, the following configuration variables are available:

Enable the Service
gradle.properties
```
docker_com.etendoerp.tomcat=true
```
This variable enables the Tomcat service.
Configure Tomcat Port (Optional)
gradle.properties
```
tomcat.port=<port>
```
This variable sets the port for the Tomcat service. The default port is 8080
Configure Debug Port (Optional)
gradle.properties
```
docker_com.etendoerp.tomcat_debug=<debug_port>
```
This variable sets the debug port for the Tomcat service. The default debug port is 8009

Info

For debugging in IntelliJ, create a new configuration of type Remote JVM Debug and set the port to listen on.

Execute the following command to apply the configuration changes:

Terminal

./gradlew setup

Compile the Environment

The first time Tomcat is used within a Docker environment, the setup must be compiled by executing:
Terminal
```
./gradlew update.database compile.complete smartbuild
```
This command will update the database and recompile the java classes and deploy the WAR to the dockerized Tomcat service.

Info

This module modifies Gradle tasks. Executing the update.database command will automatically stop the Tomcat service. The smartbuild task will then ensure that the WAR file is correctly deployed in the container. After the smartbuild execution, the service will automatically restart, enabling an automated compilation from the command line.
Refer to Docker Management page for more information on container management.

Extra Configuration to Use Tomcat (Dockerized) with a Host Database in Linux Environments

Listen on the Docker Network

Create the etendo.conf file in the location /etc/postgresql/<your_pg_version>/main/conf.d/etendo.conf with the following content:
etendo.conf
```
listen_addresses = 'localhost,172.17.0.1'
```
Note

The IP address 172.17.0.1 is the interface that connects the host with the Docker service. This is the default address used for this connection.
Allow Access from the Docker Subnetwork

Add the following line to the /etc/postgresql/<your_pg_version>/main/pg_hba.conf file:
pg_hba.conf
```
host all all 172.0.0.0/8 scram-sha-256
```
Note

The subnet 172.0.0.0/8 is used to enable access from Docker Tomcat to the host. By default, Docker assigns a subnet within the range of 172.1.0.0/8 to 172.254.0.0/8.
1. Restart the PostgreSQL Service
Finally, restart the PostgreSQL service by running the following command in the terminal:
Terminal
```
sudo systemctl restart postgresql
```
