For example, suppose you have a tree like
org/apache/geronimo/System
   |
   -- org/apache/geronimo/Server
      |
      -- org/apache/geronimo/DebugConsole
      |
      -- org/apache/geronimo/Secure
      |
      -- com/example/Config1
      |  |
      |  -- com/example/app1A
      |  |
      |  -- com/example/app1B
      |
      -- com/example/Config2
         |
         -- com/example/app2A
On build, we configure the server to start "Server" (abbreviated) so
the
first time you boot both it and "System" will be started.
Suppose you then distribute all the other configs to it and start
them.
If you then stop and restart the server all 9 configs will start.
If you then stop and start the server with "app1A" and "app2A" on the
command line then "System" "Server" "Config1" "app1A" "Config2" and
"app2A" will be started.
Makes sense.
The reason that I ask is that in itests I distribute and start app1A,
app1B, and app2A.  I then try to stop and undeploy them in reverse
order.  When I do this, app1A, app1B and app2A throw this exception 
when
they are undeployed:

java.lang.IllegalStateException
        at
org.apache.geronimo.kernel.Kernel.stopConfiguration(Kernel.java:327)
...
Does what I'm doing for these unit tests, undeploying them in reverse
order, even make sense?
I think so
BTW, what configuration to I pass to tell the server to stop the whole
tree all at once?  Do I have to stop the nodes that I started in 
reverse
order?
You could stop config1 and config2.  You could also stop server, but 
that might be more than you want:-)

I'm pretty sure there are some bugs in the start/stop code or at least 
something like:

load config1
load app1A
start config1
has not yet worked for me.
