Quite frankly, I'm not sure I see the value of having multiple web
containers simultaneously active within geronimo. Has anyone heard of a
use case or user that is asking for this support? IMHO, I suspect the
vast majority of users will choose a single web container (at build or
install time) and stick with it. If future requirements dictate a
switch to a different container, then laying down a new installation
doesn't seem unreasonable. In fact, Geronimo doesn't currently even
support incremental maintenance. I would think the use case for
non-destructive upgrade would be much more prevalent than changing
internal components on the fly.
While simultaneous active web containers would be a technical feat, I'm
really not sure the overhead and added confusion to users are worth the
payoff.. My $.02

I know I keep beating on this but IMO this is another problem of the
multiple container configuration and single image delivery. It would be
equally problematic to attempt to start both the tomcat & jetty console
or welcome configurations simultaneously even in just a single container
configuration. I think we will have problems like this until we come to
the point where we deliver two images that include only the peripheral
configurations that are applicable to the particular image (one for
tomcat and one for jetty).
I'm willing to eat my words if I hear a proposal on how we can avoid
problems like these. I just don't see a clear solution to problems with
our current approach unless we get a lot more sophisticated with
conversion capability (and even then I think the user will be confused
when s/he sees multiple configurations for the same applications even if
they all work).

I have built M5 from the source. I am running the
default configuration (Jetty and Tomcat). I start The
following configurations :
org/apache/geronimo/applications/Welcome/Tomcat and
org/apache/geronimo/Console/Tomcat Both theses configurations get
started on port
8080. Even though Tomcat is running on port 8090: Before I
investigate further, is this a known
problem?
Thanks
