Hi David,

Thanks for your response. You solution works for us if we install WASCE on a centeral location and have the multiple instances but the probelm is this centeral location will not have any write and execute permission..it will only have read only permission. hense when we run multiple instance for every users....it tries to write some info on the cernteral location of WASCE install and it fials in our scenraio....moreover evry user will have their own repo and not even on the centeral location it should be known by other users....what all repo's are there or avilable....thats why we wanted to install server for evry user but share bin/lib and schema folders.....any
pointers on this? Your repose is much appriciated.

I don't understand why having a local per user var directory containing a per-user repository won't satisfy your requirements. Geronimo should not be writing anything except into files in var unless you deploy something, and if you set up a repository inside the users' var dir for per-user deployments, even deployments won't alter the main repo. If geronimo is writing something else, please let us know what.

thanks

Hi AG Guru,

May I request for your valuable suggestion on referring to BIN/LIB/
SCHEMA
directories from different users/machine installs of Geronimo?

We have 10 different locations on 10 different machines for 10
users where
we have installed Geronimo server for every users.

Since bin/lib and schema are common and read only folders to all
the users,
is it possible to keep those directory on a central server and
every user
machine( Geronimo install) can point to those bin/lib/schema
directories?

I think it should be possible but I really am not able refer to those
bin/lib/schema directories from users install of Geronimo.

Pl suggest, your help will is highly appreciated.

Schema is thee only for your reference, it is not used by geronimo.

You can specify where the geronimo installation is by setting

-Dorg.apache.geronimo.home.dir=<location> on the server command line.

The only files that are not read only are under var, and you can
specify the location of the var directory on server startup with

-Dorg.apache.geronimo.server.dir=<location> on the server command
line.  If this is a relative path it is resolved relative to the
geronimo home dir: if absolute such resolution is not necessary.

You might be able to use something like nfs mounts to share a basic
geronimo installation on one machine with all the running copies
having local var directories.  If there is any chance of users
independently deploying apps with the same name you will want to set
up secondary repositories in the local var directory.  There are some
instuctions here: http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC20/multiple-
repositories.html

hope this helps
david jencks


Many thanks in advance
