1.) start geronimo 2.0.1
2.) undeploy the Tomcat component:
$G/bin/deploy.sh undeploy org.apache.geronimo.configs/
tomcat6/2.0.1/car
3.) install your jar into the repository:
mkdir -p $G/repository/mygroup/myvalve/1.0/
cp myvalve-1.0.jar $G/repository/mygroup/myvalve/1.0/
4.) get a deployment plan for Geronimo's Tomcat component by building
it from source
-- or --
http://people.apache.org/~pmcmahan/tomcat_plan.xml
5.) add a dependency on your jar to the deployment plan
<dependencies>
[...]
<dependency>
<groupId>mygroup</groupId>
<artifactId>myvalve</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<type>jar</type>
</dependency>
6.) redeploy the tomcat component using the updated deployment plan
$G/bin/deploy.sh deploy $G/repository/org/apache/geronimo/
modules/geronimo-tomcat6/2.0.1/geronimo-tomcat6-2.0.1.jar
tomcat_plan.xml
7.) restart any web apps that depend on Tomcat (undeploying Tomcat
stopped them). e.g.
$G/bin/deploy.sh start org.apache.geronimo.configs/welcome-
tomcat/2.0.1/car
As was mentioned earlier, this process for adding new dependencies
to an existing module needs to be improved in Geronimo. This would
make it easier to use your own classes for Tomcat valves. BTW,
there are several "native" valves already in the Tomcat jars that
would not require you to go through this process:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/api/org/apache/catalina/
valves/package-summary.html

Thanks Paul! I like this approach, but I don't know how to redeploy
it. Could
you tell me how to redeploy the tomcat module?
Paul McMahan-2 wrote:
Geronimo's Tomcat component actually creates the valve and therefore
needs to have the implementation classes available in its
classloader. A component's deployment plan specifies what goes in
its classloader, so you could add your jar(s) to Tomcat's deployment
plan and then redeploy it.
Best wishes,

It seems that I can merge all the other jar files into the
geronimo-tomcat-1.1.1.jar to make it works. Is there other ways to
handle
it?
