Well, I should mention that you can dump the module in the hot deploy directory, which may be good enoguh to get you going for now. Currently we don't notice if you dumped a *newer* copy of the file in there while the server was down, but if it's a new deployment it'll get deployed next time the server starts. The down side is we don't validate anything when you copy it in there, only when the server starts up and attempts the deployment. Ok that explains a few things! Thanks for mentioning it.

Vincent, That's excellent. I guess the Container support on the Cargo home site is not updated yet. That's fine.

I've started messing around with this and hit a snag. I've made a new jar called offline.jar that's pretty much a clone of the existing deployer.jar 'cept it runs a different main class, which itself is pretty much a clone of the existing deployer main class. It's all good until the code reaches the SwitchingModuleBuilder, which is configured by default to deploy to Tomcat, so since I'm using Jetty it fails to find a builder and I get foo.war is not a war messages. It looks as if SwitchingModuleBuilder's defaultNamespace is overridden in assemblies/j2ee-jetty-server's config.xml, but I'm not clear on how to override this parameter when I'm in a command-line environment. I'm not even clear on how this gets overridden when the plugin is run in a configs/*-jetty directory. Pointers appreciated. Thanks, Toby

I tried to think of an approach using hot deployment that would work, but none are as clean as offline deployment. But I'm probably a corner case: I use Geronimo embedded in a system with lots of other software around it, running in a sealed box rather than a typical PC-like environment. I cross-develop; with offline deployment I can distribute my application into Geronimo during the build process, then move it to a target machine and run it on a read-only partition. Of course I have to move various logs, etc to /var but that's easily done by tweaks to various plan.xml files. I've also done some experiments recently to allow Geronimo to have multiple config-stores so I can have my core software in read-only storage and deploy other stuff to /var. Using hot deployment would be much more complex as I'd have to modify the hot deployer to read from /var and deploy to a read-write config store. It also leaves a lot of processing to the target machines that currently happens on development machines. It's do-able but I like that with offline distribute my code is in a read-only config store so it can't be messed with. I've got a workaround with online distribution but it's a clumsier build process since I have to fire up the server, wait some arbitrary time for the deployer to become available, distribute, and shut down the server. I can probably live with that but offline distribution is much cleaner. I recognize that my requirements aren't typical so I'm happy to (as with multiple config stores) do some work to help make it happen. I just don't want to go off half-cocked and end up with something that's a crime against the Geronimo architecture. What do you think of the approach that I mentioned in my previous email? Am I barking up the right tree? Thanks, Toby

I'll probably need to hack something for my needs but I'd just as soon do it in a way that's Geronimo-savvy. It's definitely something we need in some form. From discussion on this list it looks as if the preferred approach is to try to use the same approach that the build-time maven plugins do. From my naive reading of the code, it looks as if that happens in two passes: first the geronimo-packaging-plugin takes a deployable resource (ear, war, etc) and generates a configuration archive from that, then the geronimo-assembly-plugin moves the car into the ConfigurationStore. The configurations are mentioned in config.xml (hand-coded?) which causes them to get started when Geronimo runs. I see notes in the code that the packaging plugin uses the Maven repository, so in order to work on machines without Maven I imagine that we'd need to use the Geronimo repository instead. Is this more-or-less on the right track? I'd appreciate any tips or pointers, especially if I'm about to head off in the wrong direction. That's about right. I tried to make both the packaging and assembly plugins modular so that the class that does the work accepts arbitrary repository and config-store implementations so that all that is needed for the offline config-builder or assembler is to construct something using the geronimo repo and config store rather than the maven ones. My idea was to control these plugins primarily with a properties file, but allowing overrides using command line properties. I recall writing a primitive version of the command line packager but never tested it and I'm not sure if I committed it before my hard drive broke. Something similar should work for the assembler. One question I have about this is, where do the dependencies come from? The maven assembly plugin makes sure all the dependencies for the config are copied from the maven repo into the geronimo repo. I guess a command line version of this should fail if the dependencies aren't already in the repo? Or should it accept some other repo anyway? Or use a remote maven repo? I don't know. One missing piece that perhaps can be added to the assembly plugin as well is modification of config.xml. I suppose a good start would be to have a flag that indicates whether the config should be loaded or not, and, similarly to the online deployer, either add an element to config.xml or set load=true if the flag says to load the config. Unless someone twists my arm severely I was planning on looking at this again after 2 other items, jetspeed integration and a transaction manager patch: if you wanted to get started on this first I'd be very happy :-). Command line tools are not something I know how to make useable so I'm sure anything I came up with would need editing by others anyway. many thanks, david jencks Thanks, Toby
