Providers

Datasource LWRP

wildfly_datasource 'example' do
  jndiname "java:jboss/datasource/example"
  drivername "some-jdbc-driver"
  connectionurl "jdbc:some://127.0.0.1/example"
end

Deploy LWRP

Allows you to deploy JARs and WARs via chef

Example 1 (from a url)
ruby
wildfly_deploy 'jboss.jdbc-driver.sqljdbc4_jar' do
url "http://artifacts.company.com/artifacts/mssql-java-driver/sqljdbc4.jar"
end


Example 2 (from disk)
ruby
wildfly_deploy 'jboss.jdbc-driver.sqljdbc4_jar' do
path "/opt/resources/sqljdb4.jar"
end


Attribute LWRP

Allows you to set an attribute in the server config

To change the max-post-size parameter
```xml
<server name="default-server">
<http-listener name="default" socket-binding="http" max-post-size="20971520"/>
<host name="default-host" alias="localhost">

```ruby
wildfly_attribute "max-post-size" do
   path "/subsystem=undertow/server=default-server/http-listener=default"
   parameter "max-post-size"
   value "20971520L"
   notifies :restart, "service[wildfly]"
end

If the attribute restart is set to false, the wildfly will never restart

wildfly_attribute "max-post-size" do
   path "/subsystem=undertow/server=default-server/http-listener=default"
   parameter "max-post-size"
   value "20971520L"
   restart false
end
