Tomcat rpm

This is a maven module that will grab the desired version of tomcat from maven and create a distributable rpm with the following name:

tomact<major_version><minor_version>-<major_version>.<minor_version>.<revision_version>.rpm

This rpm will be signed by the gpg secret key in the secret keyring referenced in the maven conifguration "signing.keyring.file" in the tomcat-parent pom.

Installation will place tomcat in the /opt/tomcat directory. The only change made to the tomcat archive is that the setenv.d will be used instead of the sentenv.sh to store application environment variables. This way each application can have its own file.

How to Build

Update the version number to the desired tomcat version

mvn versions:set --define newVersion=<tomcat_version> \
--define processDependencies=false \
--define processParent=true \
--file tomcat-parent/pom.xml

build the project

mvn clean package

Create gpg secret key and secret keyring

requires gnugpg < 2.1 since GnuPG 2.1 secret keys are no longer stored in a secret keyring see release notes

gpg --full-generate-key
gpg --list-secret-keys
gpg --list-secret-keys --secret-keyring=test-secret-keyring.gpg

Below is the output from the above command with '2F3ECCB' being the key_id

/home/vagrant/.gnupg/test-secret-keyring.gpg

export secret key and generate a secret keyring

gpg --export-secret-keys <key_id> > private.key
gpg --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring=test-secret-keyring.gpg --allow-secret-key-import --import ./private.key
