Russell E Glaue commented on GERONIMO-6287:
-------------------------------------------
I agree with the patch GERONIMO-5164/new-instance+30.patch
It creates/copies {{var}} and {{etc}}
And only creates {{repository}}
With changes provided in GERONIMO-6270, the {{repository}} directory gets
created automatically on server startup if it does not exist.
I would remove the comment in the patch that reads:
{code}
+ //?? repository folder needed by karaf, but don't know why ?
{code}
Karaf requires a repository local to the base path of the geronimo server
instance. Karaf specifically looks for it on startup, but does nothing with it.
We have the {{o.a.g.server.dir/repository}} configured in
o.a.g.server.dir/etc/org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.cfg as:
{code}
org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.defaultRepositories=file:${karaf.home}/repository@snapshots,file:${karaf.base}/repository@snapshots
{code}
Karaf looks for artifacts to deploy from one repository if the server is a
single server, or two repositories if the server is one of multiple instances.
When running multiple instance {{karaf.home/repository}} is the read-only
bootstrap repository, and {{karaf.base/repository}} is the read-write local
deploy repository for the specific geronimo instance.
It is not safe for multiple instances to deploy to the same bootstrap
repository, as one instance's deployment will be seen by another. So we need to
separate out local repositories for each instance to deploy to.
If a comment is desired, I recommend this:
{code}
+ //the repository folder is needed for local deployments, defined in
etc/org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.cfg
+ //we want to deploy artifacts specific to the instance to this local
repository, not the shared bootstrap repository
{code}
