I'm very new to Geronimo and I want to make sure I'm on the right track for doing the following: create a custom builder to handle my own module type ".gar" (.e.g., "generic archive"). Now, I want to essentially treat .GAR files like .WAR files, except that I'll be doing some pre-processing to the JSP pages (for instance, upper-casing everything).
So I'm thinking about creating a ConfigurationBuilder that would integrate with whatever Web Container is installed in Geronimo. Is this a good approach? I'm having a hard time understanding what the different methods of the ConfigurationBuilder are supposed to do (even though I have read the Quartz "Advanced Plugin Example" page). I initially was thinking of, after doing the preprocessing, using JSR-88 API inside of my ConfigurationBuilder to deploy my GAR as a web application. But it seems to me that I would probably want to look up some sort of WebBuilder GBean in the kernel to perform the deployment for me. But what GBean to lookup? Thanks Daniel.
