Summary
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows instructions for configuring data sources in Tomcat and JBoss on Azure App Service. However, in the Tomcat server-level configuration section, the Windows instructions are more detailed and make heavy use of Windows-specific tools and patterns, such as PowerShell scripts and Windows environment variables. The Windows section is longer and more prescriptive, with explicit PowerShell automation, while the Linux section relies on shell scripting and manual steps. The documentation also introduces Windows-specific concepts (e.g., copying Tomcat to a local directory, using %LOCAL_EXPANDED%, and setting up startup.cmd) that have no direct Linux equivalent, and the PowerShell script is given in full, whereas the Linux script is more generic. The Linux instructions are present and functional, but the Windows approach is more prominent and tool-specific.
Recommendations
  • Provide equally detailed Linux shell script examples for automating Tomcat server-level configuration, similar to the PowerShell script given for Windows.
  • Where possible, present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel or with equal prominence, rather than giving a longer, more detailed Windows section.
  • Include Linux-native automation tools (e.g., bash scripts, systemd service files, or cloud-init) as first-class citizens, not just as generic shell snippets.
  • Avoid Windows-specific terminology (e.g., %LOCAL_EXPANDED%, startup.cmd) without providing clear Linux equivalents.
  • Consider providing a table or side-by-side comparison of steps for both platforms to ensure parity and clarity.
