Thanks for the suggestion. This has been implemented. Gianny John Sisson wrote: Gianny, I think we should change the org.apache.geronimo.base.dir property to be org.apache.geronimo.home.dir so it is consistent in meaning with Tomcat's usage of the terms home and base to avoid confusion.

Hi, This change adds the ability to start multiple server instances against the same bin, config-store, deploy, lib, repository and shema folders of a Geronimo installation. An additional instance can be set-up by copying the var folder to the directory where you want to create a new

Can you please elaborate a bit more on what exactly this provides? Can I now have two separate instances each with their own unique applications/configurations/logs (i.e. config-store, deploy and var directories) sharing the same geronimo installation binaries (i.e. bin, lib and repository

Hi, The second solution has been implemented. When starting G, it is now possible to specify one of these two system properties: * org.apache.geronimo.server.name: name of the server to be started. If server1 is specified, then G will use the directory geronimo installation dir/server1; or *

Some ideas.. Currently geronimo.sh/bat will invoke a setenv.sh script if present ( in the bin directory ). Maybe we could enhance geronimo.sh/bin to also invoke a setenv.sh script if present under var for a particular geronimo instance. So the setenv.sh script in geronimo/bin gets invoked

I'm not sure if you are suggesting it would be possible for two geronimo instances to share a var/config directory - that would not work as each instance would be attempting to do updates of the one config.xml file. This may also have problems with two instances trying to write log files,

This sounds reasonable to me. I'd prefer to have resolveServer and always look for /var under there. If there are multiple config stores, we'll have to figure out how the deploy tool will know which one to use. Perhaps there should be something indicating whether the config store is writable at

One approach that seems user friendly to me would be to allow the user to pass an argument to Geronimo startup specifying a server root directory. The immediate subdirectories of this server root directory would trump those in geronimo_home for that server instance. Using this technique would

As far as directory structure, it seems that WebSphere separates the binaries (e.g. jars, scripts) from the instance data. Each instance has it's own copy of configuration data, installed applications, logs and properties. The scripts (e.g. startup/shutdown) are also available in each

As a programmer type it seems intuitive to me that the presence of a subdir in an alternate server root overrides the default while its absence makes the server instance inherit the default. But its possible that I am mingling system administration with too much OO. At any rate I agree that having
