Re: Running multiple instances of geronimo
I think this is a small mistake on page http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GMOxDOC20/Multiple+Repositories. For the following line: Use org.apache.geronimo.server.name to specify an absolute path, which need not be relative to geronimo_home. For example, /ag20/servers/bar would put the server's var directory under /ag20/servers/bar. Otherwise, the two system properties behave the same. The org.apache.geronimo.server.name should be org.apache.geronimo.server.dir.

Re: Running multiple instances of geronimo
Now the server instances can be run as follows: 1. create a directory in GERONIMO_HOME called say 'instance1' 2. copy 'var' directory to instance1. 3. edit instance1\var\config\config-substitutions.properties. Change portOffset to 10, 20, .. (or anything else). 3. set GERONIMO_OPTS=-Dorg.apache.geronimo.server.name=instance1 4. bin\startup 5. To shutdown use bin\shutdown for the instance using 1099, and bin\shutdown --port=rmiNamingPort for others. The console can also be used. 6. To deploy from command line use: bin\deploy . for instance at 1099 bin\deploy -port rmiNamingPort deploy . for others It would be nice if shutdown and deploy used same command syntax. For the sake of uniformity, I would like to treat the server with name geronimo', i.e. gernimo:...j2eeType=J2EEServer,name=geronimo as an instance. In other words it will be run from geronimo/var (not var). This will make a pristine copy of 'var' available all the time for creating new instances. This can be easily done by setting the property org.apache.geronimo.server.name=geronimo by default. Any other ideas are welcome..

If this is done, then we must have geronimo and geronimo/var directories in the shipped image. I see those are small. Initially yes, have a var and a geronimo/var (53K). Later we could have some code to do the copying. So given a server name this code will create name/var (53K). This code could be part of J2EEDomain managedobject: addServer(String serverName); removeServer(String ServerName); We could make J2EEserver statemanageable, i.e. provide doStart() and doStop() to start the instances. Some more thought is needed on how to tie all this together...

Re: Running multiple instances of geronimo
This morning things seem to be working fine!!! i.e. jline.dll is extracted to var\temp and shutdown works. If the bizarre thing like jline.dll in i1/var/temp happens again, I will get back to you..
