Cool. Do I need to build an assembly though? (Sorry for the repost)

Can I set the order of which jars will get loaded first?

Most often it seems the CLASSPATH is used to add JDBC drivers or
common 3rd party libraries. We have special facilities for that in
Geronimo, so I don't see that being able to set the CLASSPATH is all
that valuable.

I am working on the startup scripts for Geronimo and was wondering
whether people can see a requirement now or in the future where
users would want to be able to specify their own classpath when
executing the startup script (e.g. in the CLASSPATH env var) and
have that appended to the server's classpath (currently the
server's classpath is set in the Class- Path manifest attribute of
the geronimo/bin/server.jar file)?

If this is a requirement, here is a proposal (untested) on how we
could implement it:
The startup script when issuing the java command would:
* not use the -jar option. It would construct the full classpath,
including the classpath the user specified followed by the server's
classpath and specify it on the -cp option.
* obtain the server's part of the classpath by executing a .bat or
.sh file that was written by the assembly, since the assembly knows
this as it sets the classpath in the JAR manifest.
* specify the main class on the java command (
org.apache.geronimo.system.main.Daemon )
* specify the endorsed dir ( lib/endorsed )
(FYI.. Tomcat startup scripts do not use the -jar option and allow
users to set the classpath).
Anyone have any opinions or ideas?
Thanks,
John
