2) Have a separate binary image for both the Jetty and Tomcat webcontainers. I'm not suggesting biting off the whole task of revising the assembly process but rather just merely having two binaries each with a separate set of config files (config.xml, config.list). This could even be a post-build step done on the common image. This isn't very technically interesting but clearly communicates to users that there are two separate environments and they select the download that they want. Of course, this goes away if/when the assembly revision is complete.

+1 this is a reasonable compromise.


OK, one more idea for the list...

I'm into testing on making config.xml serve as both the attribute store and the persistent configuration list. When this works, I think it would be useful to have a command line parameter that sets the location/name of the config.xml file to use (maybe a system property). Then we could choose the configuration on the command line

java -jar bin/server.jar -Dgeronimo.configuration=geronimo-jetty.xml

Scripts could remove the need to know the  file name :-)

./geronimo-jetty

Would this be adequate and remove the need for separate distributions?

thanks
