Change Tomcat Settings in Amazon Elasticbeanstalk

Question

I’m having trouble assigning the Jdbchealm properties to the Tomcat server. How to include new properties in the server.xml file or in the Tomcat-users.xml file when the app is on the Amazon server hosted with Tomcat server as elasticbeanstalk?

Answer 1

You can replace the settings as follows:

Create a directory within your webapp, and paste your server.xml. After that, create an xml: server-update.config, with the code below:

container_commands: 
  replace-config: 
    command: cp .ebextensions/server.xml /etc/tomcat7/server.xml

This information can be found at:

Note that in the above way, your server.xml will completely replace the existing one, if you just want to override some settings or insert others, note the form below, from soEN:
