Tomcat started but application war file not deployed with the docker composer file

I use an image of tomcat-9 for adoptopenjdk. The docker-compose file config is:

tomcat-server:
    image: tomcat:9.0.45-jdk11-adoptopenjdk-hotspot
    ports: 
      - "8081:8080"
    volumes:
      - /webapp/target/app.war:/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/app.war
    environment:
      - EUREKA.CLIENT.SERVICEURL.DEFAULTZONE=http://naming-server:8761/eureka
      - SPRING.REDIS.HOST=redis-cache-server

When I start the tomcat using docker-compse file, the logs shows that it wont start with the port mentioned 8081. It is still started on 8080. See the logs for details.

I tried few things but not having any success. Am I missing something?

Solution

  • I am able to solve the issue. Solution is to create a separate docker file to create a tomcat image and used it in docker composer file.

    The problem is, even the war is copied to webapps folder of tomcat it wont deploy. See the logs for reference:

    tomcat-server_1       | org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDirectory Deploying web application directory [/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/app.war]
tomcat-server_1       | org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDirectory Deployment of web application directory [/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/app.war] has finished in [361] ms
tomcat-server_1       | org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol.start Starting ProtocolHandler ["http-nio-8080"]

    As image tomcat:9.0.45-jdk11-adoptopenjdk-hotspot contains the command ['catalina.sh', 'run'], as soon as the docker-compose command executes, the tomcat started and at the end of the starting process it copied war file to the tomcat location. So it wont deploy the war file.

    This is the reason what I have found. (Please clear me if I am wrong ot I missed anything).

    So final solution is like this(which worked for me):

    Create a docker file. (e.g.- Dockerfile_web)

    #Take the Tomcat-9 image which supports AdoptOpenJDK
FROM tomcat:9.0.45-jdk11-adoptopenjdk-hotspot

#Copy the WAR file to tomcat
ADD ./webapp/target/attest.war /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/attest.war

#Allow execution (Not required, just added)
CMD chmod +x /usr/local/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh

    Next is to add this file reference in docker-compose file.

    web-app:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Dockerfile_Web
    ports: 
      - "8081:8080"
    networks:
      - app-network
    command: ['catalina.sh', 'run']
    environment:
      - EUREKA.CLIENT.SERVICEURL.DEFAULTZONE=http://naming-server:8761/eureka
      - SPRING.REDIS.HOST=redis-cache-server

    Once I run this with docker-compose up it started and working as expexcted.
