I haven't had time to look at this thoroughly but I have a couple
comments anyway. Take them with plenty of salt.
1. IMO anyone using this feature is likely to want to heavily
customize geronimo so their "template" bears little resemblance to
what we supply. If they don't do this, we've failed to provide a
sufficiently customizable server. So I think its equally important
to provide facilities to extract a "minimal" server that will run a
set of apps and make it the template.
2. I think the predominant use of uncustomized geronimo will be as
a single server so I'm reluctant to, for this use, hide "var" under
a couple more directories. It would certainly make my use of
geronimo more complicated. I'm worried that to make life a little
easier for advanced users we may be making it more complicated for
beginners. What do other people think?
I dunno... It shouldn't be that much work to setup the default
configuration to be multi-node compatible. I recall that what I
setup for jbucks all so many years ago...
I do think that we need to provide some out of the box node-
management tools to go with this. I think that this would be ideal
use for GShell ;-) And actually the whole tiny-bootstrap JVM thingy
I've been mentioning here and there, would be ideal for GShell as
well...
