Cannot start server programmatically
------------------------------------

         Key: GERONIMODEVTOOLS-40
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMODEVTOOLS-40
     Project: Geronimo-Devtools
        Type: Bug
 Environment: Windows XP
    Reporter: Kathy Chan
    Priority: Critical


I was using the following drivers on Windows XP:

- WTP 1.0
- Geronimo 1.0 server 
- Geronimo 20060109 plugin

With a new workspace, do the following:

- install Geronimo 1.0 server runtime
- create Geronimo server using server tooling
- start server
- create Web project "a1" with EAR
- In the Web project, create a simple Echo.java with a "hello" method that 
takes a String and returns it.

Here are the procedure to create a bottom-up Web service:

- right-click on Echo.java, select Web Services -> Create Web service
- select "test Web service" and "overwrite file" on the 1st page of Web service 
wizard
- click Finish
- when the Web Services Explorer comes up, you should be able to invoke the 
hello method

Now, if you remove the Web project "a1" from the server and ensure that the 
server is still in "started" state, then you can repeat the above steps to 
create a bottom-up Web service.  

However, if you do not remove the Web project from the server first, then 
you'll run into the problem reported in bug 
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMODEVTOOLS-39.

If you remove the Web project from the server first but stop the server before 
creating the bottom-up Web service, when the Web service wizard tried to start 
the server programmatically, you'll notice that the server console indicates 
that 

Geronimo startup complete

but server tooling still thinks that the server is started.  The server start 
will eventually times out.

Now, even if I use server tooling to start the server, server start would not 
complete.  This problem persist even if I delete the server and recreate 
another one.  The only way I could recover is to use a new workspace.
