Elastic Beanstalk : .ebextensions configuration executed and removed

I am configuring CodePipeline using Elastic Beanstalk. Elastic Beanstalk has to deploy the war file in its Tomcat's webapps folder. But it is deploying the war file in webapps/ROOT folder. So I have created below script server-update.config in .ebextensions folder to copy the war file into webapps folder from webapps/ROOT/.

.ebextensions/server-update.config

container_commands:
  copy_file:
    command: sudo cp /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/ROOT/test/* /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/
    leader_only: true

Above code is executed successfully. Below is the log.

[2016-04-18T14:06:30.939Z] INFO  [1128]  - [Application update code-pipeline-1460988338596-MyAppBuild-2d3bd0c0-62bc-4927-bd09-b04ba81e7c03@15/AppDeployStage0/EbExtensionPostBuild/Infra-EmbeddedPostBuild/postbuild_0_SampleEB/Command copy_file] : Starting activity...

But ElasticBeanstalk is cleaning the tomcat webapps folder after executed .ebextensions file(while running /opt/elasticbeanstalk/hooks/appdeploy/enact/02clean.sh internally)

  + EB_APP_DEPLOY_BASE_DIR=/var/lib/tomcat8/webapps
  + rm -rf /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/ROOT /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/sampleapp.war

I dont know how to configure my script to execute at last. Please anyone help me with above requirement.

We had a similar issue. We needed Celery to be restarted after Django had been setup properly. We solved this very simple like this in the end.

files:
"/opt/elasticbeanstalk/hooks/appdeploy/post/99_restart_service.sh":
    mode: "000755"
    owner: root
    group: root
    content: |
        #!/usr/bin/env bash
        service celeryd restart

This is now executing after Elastic Beanstalk has worked its magic on the container.

If you need Elastic Beanstalk to execute something post deploy you can add it to the AppDeployPostHook. I've detailed how to do it here, https://stackoverflow.com/a/36603033/3167238 which you can adapt to your specific needs.
