Hi David,

As I make my way with the removal of various configuration beans I ran into a problem in the apacheds-server-tools module. This module uses spring to load the configuration but it really does not intend to start the server but rather to read the configuration to run various utility commands with that information: i.e. connect to a running instance to perform operations.

If these commands use Spring to get these objects and they startup then there will be an exception due to the server already running and ports being used. So if Spring starts up
these objects we're in trouble within this module.

Do you have any advice for dealing with this situation?

I have only a vague recollection of looking at this module... IIUC these are command line commands that connect to a running server and tell it to do something. IIUC the server can be on a different machine? Do they need more information about the server than its host and port? I would think that the specific configuration of a server might be info we wouldn't want to publish let alone require for using the tools.... so I wonder what information from server.xml is actually needed?

thanks
david jencks
