Hi, first of all, sorry if something is strange, english isn't my mother tongue, so please tell me if you can't understand.

Well, I read this role, and something I can't find (or understand) if it included a feature for enabling (or not) some features? For example, the role has a lot of useful features, in some cases, oneself could not need the role manages install tomcat. For example, I need to migrate the entire architecture of more than 20 tomcat server, each have more than 5 webapps in it, and I need to migrate all of them to an architecture where each webapp is running inside his own JVM, this role can do this work, but also there are tasks related to installing and restart the servers, and as I don't need to install tomcat again, I need to edit the tasks files of the role, etc for avoid it, so will be really useful If in the playboook file I could set something as "Manage installation" through a variable.

For what I read, that feature isn't in the scope of the role, am I right? If not, is possible to add it?

Thanks a lot!

Regards, ceso.
