Re: Help needed with geronimo.sh

[Donald Woods]

What about creating a jar/zip of the var directory when the assembly is created, so you always have a pristine copy and could easily use a script to unjar/unzip it into a new directory via the user's JVM?

I agree. I don't think normal geronimo startup should involve copying stuff from one location to another to set up a new server location.

    This is needed because we need to keep a pristine copy of 'var'
directory to create additional instances of geronimo. A user should be
able to use the installed image _any_ time to create additional
instances. In other words we need two copies of 'var' directory, one to
create additional instance and one to start the 'base server'. We could
either create var and geronimo/var at build time or copy 'var' to
geronimo/var when the image is used to start geronimo very _first_
time.

 We could build some kind of admin server to manage setting

up/removing server "clones" but I don't think it should be part of the base server normal startup path. If I've misunderstood what you

are proposing please complain :-)

  The other option is to update MainConfigurationBootstrapper

as

follows:
1. if geronimo.org.apache.geronimo.server.name system property

is

not

set, set it to 'geronimo'.
2. If 'geronimo' dir does not exist, create one and copy 'var'

to

it.

3. do the rest...
