I have multiple roles as follows : haproxy, java, nginx, tomcat
├── ansible-test-host.yml
├── hapoxy
├── java
├── myplaybook.yml
├── nginx
└── tomcat
Base playbook is : myplaybook.yml
and looks like below:
---
- hosts: test-local
connection: local
vars:
java_version: "1.8.0"
roles:
- java
So my requirement is depending upon the roles specified java/tomcat/nginx etc I have a template file to populate. Say my logic is to do as follows:
if
role == java then in template.j2 I have to set `JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS= -Xmx10g -Xms5g`
elif
role == tomcat then in template.j2 I have to set `JAVA_OPTS= -Xmx10g -Xms5g`
else
NOTHING
endif
I have other underlying scenarios to sort but if I get the base of it rest I can do.
What I have tried in java role main.yml is here
---
# tasks file for java
- name: output the 'ansible_' magic variables
debug:
msg: [
"ansible_role_names = {{ ansible_role_names | default({}) }}",
"ansible_dependent_role_names = {{ ansible_dependent_role_names }}",
"ansible_play_role_names = {{ ansible_play_role_names | default([]) | join(',') }}"
]
- name: set facts
set_fact:
DEFAULT_VAR: >
{% if "{{ ansible_play_role_names | default([]) | join(',') }}" == "java" %}
JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS
{% elif "{{ ansible_play_role_names | default([]) | join(',') }}" == 'tomcat' %}
CATALINA_OPTS
{% else %}
NOTHING
{% endif %}
- name: output my custom var- try1
debug:
msg: >
{% if "{{ ansible_play_role_names | default([]) | join(',') }}" == "java" %}
JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS
{% else %}
NOTHING
{% endif %}
- name: output my custom var - echo
debug:
msg: "{{ DEFAULT_VAR }}"
My output is as
TASK [java : output the 'ansible_' magic variables] ****************************************************
ok: [127.0.0.1] => {
"msg": [
"ansible_role_names = ['java']",
"ansible_dependent_role_names = []",

Please help with pointers to achieve this.
