Geronimo only reads compiled configurations so if you want to change it you need to rebuild the configuration.

Cool.  Do I need to build an assembly though? (Sorry for the repost)

Can I set the order of which jars will get loaded first?

Most often it seems the CLASSPATH is used to add JDBC drivers or common 3rd party libraries. We have special facilities for that in Geronimo, so I don't see that being able to set the CLASSPATH is all that valuable.

I am working on the startup scripts for Geronimo and was wondering whether people can see a requirement now or in the future where users would want to be able to specify their own classpath when executing the startup script (e.g. in the CLASSPATH env var) and have that appended to the server's classpath (currently the server's classpath is set in the Class- Path manifest attribute of the geronimo/bin/server.jar file)?

--> Note that we cannot use the -cp and -jar options at the same time due to Bug parade bug http://bugs.sun.com/ bugdatabase/ view_bug.do?bug_id=4459663

If this is a requirement, here is a proposal (untested) on how we could implement it:

The startup script when issuing the java command would:
* not use the -jar option. It would construct the full classpath, including the classpath the user specified followed by the server's classpath and specify it on the -cp option. * obtain the server's part of the classpath by executing a .bat or .sh file that was written by the assembly, since the assembly knows this as it sets the classpath in the JAR manifest. * specify the main class on the java command ( org.apache.geronimo.system.main.Daemon )
* specify the endorsed dir ( lib/endorsed )

(FYI.. Tomcat startup scripts do not use the -jar option and allow users to set the classpath).

Anyone have any opinions or ideas?

Thanks,

John
