So I switched to the 1.4M3 WAR and read up a bit more on:
https://cwiki.apache.org/ARCHIVA/archiva-on-geronimo-202-with-mysql-backend.html
The first thing I stumbled across was that there is a deployment plan
creator tool in the Geronimo Web Console under Applications / Plan
Creator. By feeding it the archiva WAR file, it spit out a
geronimo-web.xml that I could then copy and edit for future attempts.
So while I don't completely understand what I'm doing, the following
should be fairly accurate.
According to the wiki link, commons-collections and commons-lang must be
in the Geronimo Repository. I had to add these as dependencies on the
deployment file. Geronimo 3.0.0 includes 2.6 of commons-lang and 3.2.1
of commons-collections.
<dep:dependency>
<dep:groupId>commons-lang</dep:groupId>
<dep:artifactId>commons-lang</dep:artifactId>
<dep:version>2.6</dep:version>
<dep:type>jar</dep:type>
</dep:dependency>
<dep:dependency>
<dep:groupId>commons-collections</dep:groupId>
<dep:artifactId>commons-collections</dep:artifactId>
<dep:version>3.2.1</dep:version>
<dep:type>jar</dep:type>
</dep:dependency>
You will need to create a database pool using Resources / Datasources /
create a new database pool "Using the Geronimo database pool wizard".
For my initial testing, I went with "Derby embedded" with the pool named
as "archiva".
This requires another dependency to be added (the artifactId should
match the name of the database pool that you created).
<dep:dependency>
<dep:groupId>console.dbpool</dep:groupId>
<dep:artifactId>archiva</dep:artifactId>
</dep:dependency>
Plus you need to create the actual database inside of Derby / MySQL /
PostgreSQL / whatever. For Derby, this is done under the Advanced View,
Application Server, Derby Server, Manager.

However, at this point, I'm stuck on deploying with a error that looks like:
