Admin server or boot strap shell might not be a bad idea. Since G
needs so many flags to set endorsed + ext dirs muck now, it might be
a good idea to introduce a tiny shell which can handle invoking the
server correctly. Maybe something to think about for 2.1...

I agree. I don't think normal geronimo startup should involve
copying stuff from one location to another to set up a new server
location. We could build some kind of admin server to manage
setting up/removing server "clones" but I don't think it should be
part of the base server normal startup path. If I've misunderstood
what you are proposing please complain :-)
thanks

On a closer inspection this alternative (2) does not look so
attractive. IIUC, The classes to determine the geronimo install
directory and directory copy are available in system module.
Either we
duplicate the code in kernel or wait till later (after booting
kernel,
loading bootstrap configuration..) to fail if the instance data
is not
found.
Yet another alternative (3) is to modify the build and create a
geronimo/var and make 'var' read only.
Thanks

The other option is to update MainConfigurationBootstrapper as
follows:
1. if geronimo.org.apache.geronimo.server.name system property is
not
set, set it to 'geronimo'.
2. If 'geronimo' dir does not exist, create one and copy 'var' to
it.
3. do the rest...
