Hi,

I need to store information about applications in a variable data structure 
and access it via key.

If I store the information as follows I can access using *with_items*


- hosts: localhost
  connection: local
  vars:
    apps:
      admin:
        - service: admin
          handler: /admin
          port: 1200
          ....
      rpt:
        - service: rpt
          handler: /rpt
          port: 1234
          ....
  tasks:
    - debug:
        msg: "{{ item.service }} = {{ item.port }}"
      with_items: apps.admin

TASK: [debug ] 
**************************************************************** 
ok: [localhost] => (item={'handler': '/admin', 'port': 1200, 'service': 
'admin'}) => {
    "item": {
        "handler": "/admin", 
        "port": 1200, 
        "service": "admin"
    }, 
    "msg": "admin = 1200"
}

How can I access one of the nested variables directly keying on 
application. The following won't work.

    - debug:
        msg: "{{ apps.admin.service }}"

TASK: [debug ] 
**************************************************************** 
fatal: [localhost] => One or more undefined variables: 'list' object has no 
attribute 'service'

I can't use *with_items* as I need to call lots of roles. I don't want to 
pass the information directly to the roles as variables as I want to have 
it defined in one place and it needs to be used in multiple places.

I.e application configuration and apache virtual host definitions.

Any help most appreciated.

I'm happy to change the structure. All I need to do is store an amount of 
information keyed by application

Thanks

James
