Actually, what is in var that needs to be so pristine? Stuff put
into var dirs are generally very dynamic and heavily state driven...
not sure why that would need to be kept pristine across instances...
sans the log4j configuration files, which really belong in an etc/ or
conf/ and no in var/...

What about creating a jar/zip of the var directory when the
assembly is created, so you always have a pristine copy and could
easily use a script to unjar/unzip it into a new directory via the
user's JVM?

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.
This is needed because we need to keep a pristine copy of 'var'
directory to create additional instances of geronimo. A user
should be
able to use the installed image _any_ time to create additional
instances. In other words we need two copies of 'var' directory,
one to
create additional instance and one to start the 'base server'. We
could
either create var and geronimo/var at build time or copy 'var' to
geronimo/var when the image is used to start geronimo very _first_
time.
Thanks

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...
