tomcat is not getting started using ansible

[Irfan Sayed]

Hi,

I am learning ansible. i have download the standalone tomcat example : https://github.com/ansible/ansible-examples/tree/master/tomcat-standalone.

i am able to successfully deploy the tomcat/java and other tasks.

however, tomcat service is not getting started through ansible. Though, manually i can start tomcat.

i am not getting what is the issue? i have verified other issues like permission, firewall, iptables etc but no luck .

when goggled , i got this : https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ansible-project/wf-UOtPOuKk

but, still i am facing the issue. 

i have taken the latest code of this tomcat module. 

ansible version: ansible 1.9.2

please suggest. i am stuck

Regards

Irfan

By changing the started to restarted in the task file make the problem go away.

Before:

- name: Start Tomcat
  service: name=tomcat state=started enabled=yes

After:

- name: Start Tomcat

  service: name=tomcat state=restarted enabled=yes
