How to use CHEF to run JAR?

Question

I have a working jar file in an ubuntu virtual machine. I need to create a chef recipe to:

• Run jar - (for example: run the command: java -jar name.jar)
• Stop execution - when deploying a new can.

Can this be achieved with CHEF?

There are many options. Most likely the easiest:

execute "run file.jar in directory" do
  command "java -jar file.jar"
  cwd "directory containing jar file"
  action :run
end
