I think adding a scripting module to geronimo would help a lot in this
area. Due to geronimo's GBean architecture adding such a module appears
to be a simple as writting the GBean wrapper(s) for whatever scripting
engine (say Jython or Groovy) you please. A simple implementation could,
for example, read a system property (say geronimo.start.script) and, if
this system property exists, run this script when the GBean starts. So
all you'll have to do to is start geronimo like so java -jar server.jar
-Dgeronimo.start.script=[path_to_script]. I think I could get a
prototype of this done in a couple of hours and submit it as a patch if
anyone is interested.
Thanks,
