I've added a new skeleton document, Geronimo v1.1 - Multiple Server
Configurations
(http://opensource.atlassian.com/confluence/oss/display/GERONIMO/Geronimo+v1.1+-+Multiple+Server+Configurations)
to the Confluence Wiki if someone more knowledgable (*cough* Hernan
*cough*) wants to flesh out the content.

All,
David Jencks just backported a feature that lets you create multiple
server configurations inside a single Geronimo installation. This
affects the contents of the var/ directory, if I understand it right.
So essentially, you could create a structure like this:
geronimo/var/... (default configuration)
geronimo/server1/var/... ("server1" configuration)
geronimo/another/var/... ("another" configuration)
In other words, you can create subdirectories with their own copies of
var/* and then tell Geronimo during startup to read from foo/var/*
instead of var/* using a command-line parameter.
I'd like to propose one change to this, and that is, that we eliminate
the "var" directory and set it up one of these two ways -- the
difference being whether the default server configuration is named
something like "default" or named "var":
Option 1: default configuration named "var":
geronimo/var/... (default configuration)
geronimo/server1/... ("server1" configuration)
geronimo/another/... ("another" configuration)
Option 2: default configuration named e.g. "default":
geronimo/default/... (default configuration)
geronimo/server1/... ("server1" configuration)
geronimo/another/... ("another" configuration)
It seems somewhat more usable to me if, for example, the log directory
is immediately underneath the server configuration directory. For
anyone who's not real UNIX-oriented, I think it will be much nicer to
look in the configuration directory and see config/ log/ security/ etc
instead of just seeing "var".
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Aaron
