Tomcat Container

The Tomcat Container allows web application to be run. These applications are run as the root web application in a Tomcat container.

Detection Criterion	Existence of a `WEB-INF/` folder in the application directory
Tags	`tomcat-⟨version⟩`

Tags are printed to standard output by the buildpack detect script

Configuration

The container can be configured by modifying the config/tomcat.yml file. The container uses the Repository utility support and so it supports the version syntax defined there.

Name	Description
`repository_root`	The URL of the Tomcat repository index (details).
`version`	The version of Tomcat to use. Candidate versions can be found in this listing.

Additional supporting functionality can be found in the java-buildpack-support Git repository.
