Procedure 4.9. Use SCM to Run Tomcat as a Service

1. At the shell prompt, become the root user.
2. Create a new file named tomcat.xml at the location /var/svc/manifest/application/web/.
3. Copy and paste the following contents into the newly created tomcat.xml file.

   <?xml version='1.0'?>
   <!DOCTYPE service_bundle SYSTEM '/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1'>
   <!--  Service manifest for Apache Tomcat -->
   <service_bundle type='manifest' name='tomcat6:tomcat6'>
       <service name='network/tomcat6'
                type='service'
                version='1'>
            <create_default_instance enabled='false' />
            <single_instance />
            <dependency name='fs'
                        grouping='require_all'
                        restart_on='none'
                        type='service'>
                 <service_fmri value='svc:/system/filesystem/local' />
            </dependency>
            <dependency name='net'
                        grouping='require_all'
                        restart_on='none'
                        type='service'>
                 <service_fmri value='svc:/network/loopback' />
              </dependency>
              <exec_method type='method'
                           name='start'
                           exec='/opt/jboss-ews-2.0/sbin/tomcat6 start'
                           timeout_seconds='-1'>
              </exec_method>
              <exec_method type='method'
                           name='stop'
                           exec='/opt/jboss-ews-2.0/sbin/tomcat6 stop'
                           timeout_seconds='-1'>
              </exec_method>
              <exec_method type='method'
                           name='restart'
                           exec='/opt/jboss-ews-2.0/sbin/tomcat6 restart'
                           timeout_seconds='-1'>
              </exec_method>
       </service>
   </service_bundle>

4. Run the following command to import the new file:

   # /usr/sbin/svccfg import /var/svc/manifest/application/web/tomcat.xml

5. Use the following command to start tomcat:

   # /usr/sbin/svcadm enable tomcat6
