Deploying webapp to Tomcat Charm

[Tom Barber]

Hi guys,

Having taken Matt's advice I've blatantly ripped off OpenMRS's cham to get
Saiku into a generic tomcat.

https://github.com/OSBI/saiku/tree/development/charm/trusty/saikuanalytics

The files are still uploading to dropbox so don't try and run it for the
next couple of hours(my ADSL sucks). But if anyone wants to pass comment on
the hooks, etc please do.

I want to extend it further in the coming weeks, so that when people attach
a MySQL/Postgres DB to it you can insert the maintenance DB's into them,
but I need to do some work on ourside first to make that happen. And like
we discussed on the call the other week, when people connect a data source,
make sure the correct JDBC drivers are installed in the platform, but lets
get the basics done first!

Tom
