Now the server instances can be run as follows:
1. create a directory in GERONIMO_HOME called say 'instance1'
2. copy 'var' directory to instance1.
3. edit instance1\var\config\config-substitutions.properties. Change
portOffset to 10, 20, .. (or anything else).
3. set GERONIMO_OPTS=-Dorg.apache.geronimo.server.name=instance1
4. bin\startup
5. To shutdown use bin\shutdown for the instance using 1099, and
bin\shutdown --port=<rmiNamingPort> for others. The console can also be
used.
6. To deploy from command line use:
bin\deploy ......... for instance at 1099
bin\deploy -port <rmiNamingPort> deploy ..................... for
others
It would be nice if shutdown and deploy used same command syntax.
For the sake of uniformity, I would like to treat the server with
name geronimo', i.e.
gernimo:...j2eeType=J2EEServer,name=geronimo
as an instance. In other words it will be run from geronimo/var (not
var). This will make a pristine copy of 'var' available all the time
for creating new instances. This can be easily done by setting the
property org.apache.geronimo.server.name=geronimo by default.
I like the notion of a pristine var to allow for easy instance
creation. When you say "by default", are you suggesting that we ship
AG this way? If this is done, then we must have geronimo and
geronimo/var directories in the shipped image. I see those are small.
Its the var/activemq/journals that are large (40MB), but they get
created after the instance is started.
Any other ideas are welcome..
Thanks
Anita
