Summary:
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows instructions for configuring data sources in Tomcat and JBoss on Azure App Service. However, the Windows section is notably more detailed, featuring extensive PowerShell scripting and Windows-specific file paths and tools. The Linux instructions are generally more concise and rely on shell scripting, but lack parity in depth and troubleshooting guidance compared to Windows. Windows tools (PowerShell, cmd) are emphasized, and Windows-specific patterns (copying Tomcat locally, using %LOCAL_EXPANDED%) are described in detail, while Linux equivalents are less elaborated. Some examples (such as advanced configuration and troubleshooting) are only present for Windows, and the Windows configuration steps are presented after Linux but with greater emphasis and length.
Recommendations:
- Expand Linux instructions to match the detail and troubleshooting depth of Windows, including more comprehensive shell script examples and explanations.
- Provide equivalent Linux automation scripts (e.g., Bash scripts for startup configuration) with step-by-step guidance similar to the PowerShell example.
- Include Linux-specific troubleshooting tips and best practices for modifying Tomcat/JBoss configuration files.
- Ensure that all advanced configuration scenarios covered for Windows (such as copying Tomcat, marker files, and XSL transforms) are also addressed for Linux, with appropriate tooling (e.g., using rsync/cp, marker files, etc.).
- Balance the use of platform-specific tools by offering cross-platform alternatives (e.g., using Python or Java for XML transforms instead of PowerShell or shell-only solutions).
- Review the order and emphasis of examples to ensure Linux instructions are not secondary to Windows, and that both platforms are treated with equal importance.
