Although I'm a little surprised it seems the Tomcat plugin does not define any bundle-targets.  That means it does not provide any hooks for deploying bundles directly under the Tomcat Server itself.  So, deploying at the platform level would be required, I think.  For example, JBoss AS7/EAP servers can deploy bundles directly.

The alernative is to implement this feature in the plugin. We would happily accept the contribution.  I can't quite remember but it may not even reuire any Java coding, it may be a fairly easy addetion to the plugin descriptor (rhq-plugin.xml).  You could take a look at https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/rhq/rhq.git/tree/modules/plugins/jboss-as-7/src/main/resources/META-INF/rhq-plugin.xml… which is where we define bundle-targets for an AS7 standalone server.

Hi,

Yes, first create a Bugzilla report: here

Then send a pull request on github indicating the Bugzilla report number.

Thank you very much!

I need to deploy to Tomcat also.   Are you able to specify a Context?    I would need to add environment variable for Solr homes.   Tomcat can run multiple Solr instances easily with the Context file that links the war file with its environment,    but I was shocked to learn this is a pain in JBoss (there's no way to run multiple solr instances without rejarring the war file or some other hard options).   The Jetty options are far worse than JBoss however it seems...  Resin has a similar Context config to Tomcat that could do it...   would like to run Solr on JBoss because there would be more instrumentation,   but the requirements to add env vars for the WAR is a deal-breaker unless I'm missing something,  which is always possible.   someone did the work for me in this case:
