Summary:
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows instructions for advanced Tomcat server-level configuration, but the Windows section is significantly longer, more detailed, and uses Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, CMD scripts, Windows paths) without equivalent Linux scripting examples. Windows instructions are presented before Linux in some places, and the PowerShell script is much more elaborate than the Linux shell script. There is no explicit parity in scripting complexity or guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Provide a Linux shell script example for automating Tomcat configuration changes, matching the detail and robustness of the Windows PowerShell script.
- Ensure that Linux and Windows instructions are presented with equal prominence and in parallel structure, rather than Windows-first.
- Include Linux-native tooling and patterns (e.g., bash, sh, systemd, cron) where appropriate, not just Windows tools.
- Offer a downloadable sample Linux startup script that mirrors the PowerShell script's logic (checking for marker files, copying Tomcat, applying XSLT, etc.).
- Clarify any differences in capabilities or limitations between Windows and Linux App Service environments for Tomcat configuration.
- Where possible, use cross-platform tools or highlight them (e.g., using Azure CLI for both platforms) and avoid assuming Windows as the default.
