I was always thinking that shall we have a better way to handle all

example, maybe we shall give an interface to set those
configurations that we do not provide now.
I think we could expose all the knobs on tomcat components in our
gbeans but it might not be the most usable approach. Basically the
problem is that we have two component containers -- tomcat and
geronimo -- both of which insist on creating all the components
themselves. While I tend to think that the main problem is that
tomcat mixes the lifecycle and runtime code to intimately the only
realistic way to get farther than we have now is to change geronimo so
the components don't have to be created directly by the gbean
infrastructure.

Thanks Ivan! I've examined the geronimo-tomcat-2.0.1.xsd and
geronimo-tomcat-config-1.0.xsd, and am pretty sure many
configurations are not available, like antiJARLocking, unloadDelay,
etc. I understand that many of these settings might not work in
Geronimo. Just try to see how we can play with the context.xml etc.,
which might be some good tips for migration from Tomcat.

Basically, Geronimo have created a GBean for each element in the
server.xml, which means we should configure those settings via
GBeans in the config.xml. But so far, I am sure the existing GBeans
have not covered all the settings that tomcat provides. e.g. for
server.xml, we have host gbean for the <HOST> element, actually, you
could check the current setting in the geronimo\plugins\tomcat
\tomcat6\src\main\plan\plan.xml. For the context.xml, a
TomcatWebAppContext GBean will be created while deploying the web
applications, and most configurations could be set in the geronimo-
web.xml file.
Thanks for any comment, if any mistake is made, please point it out !

I just realize that I can put a context.xml in var/catalina/conf so
that I can specify lots of Tomcat options there. I did a small
experiment with the "workDir" param and it seems taking effect.
Wondering whether this is supposed to work? Can I also put a
server.xml there? Thanks!
