I explain how to make it works with IBM WASCE 2 (which is dervived from
Geronimo 2.0.1) here
http://docs.ofbiz.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4098
It's not a sophisticate approach, but it works fine for now. You will find all
what is needed in framework/appserver/wasce2
As it's explained in the link above, it does not work with Geronimo 2.0.1 yet.
I will open a Geronimo Jira soon.
Moreover I wonder if, in the case of Geronino, Little-G could not be a way to
go : in the way I did it we don't need GBeans.
Some facts : running OFBiz in Geronimo implies a 2xfootprint, from which my
Little-G expectation.
Independently of my client's need, I saw an advantage in using Geronimo : we could expect to run OFBiz multi-instances in one
application server. But as I explain in the link above there are still some problems to fix.

Hi,yuesef
thanks for replay. see the url "Updating a GBean's classloader"
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/geronimo-user/200602.mbox/[EMAIL
PROTECTED]
in the 2006. core team has a approach for geronimo integration with gbean
model.
but from the svn I don't find out code for this feature. I don't know,
what happen, the core team
don't implementation this feature. if you know can tell me
contribute your method (with geronimo), this is a good experience for
ofbizer.
I hope ofbiz go to open......

Subject: Re: about geronimo
I have done some work about that these last weeks for a client. Now OFBiz
is
running under Websphere Application Server Community Edition 2 (WASCE)
which
is derived from Geronimo 2.0.1. But I have a problem with Geronimo itself.
I
will commit soon with a guidelines in OFBiz doc, still some tests to
do...
I used a simple approach, there are no changes in OFBiz but in appserver.
One point on which I failed is to allow multi-instances of OFBiz running
in
WASCE. I got conflicts between OFBiz modules when wanting to run
multi-instances. For instance webtools have the same names in each
instance.
I thought I had an easy solution, by prefixing modules for each instance.
But then I found 2 new problems.
To run, OFBiz needs a classpath with some sub-directories (mostly config,
dtd, script) of each components. So I pass them to the JVM. But I can't
pass
2 classpathes (one for each instance) since I get conflict between them,
though I'm not sure it's really a problem
For the same reason, I must pass an "ofbiz.home" env value to the JVM and
there I'm really caught.
Of course if we succeed on this issue, this will benefit to the community
at
large as it will allow to run many OFBiz instances with only one Tomcat
engine (Geronimo embed Tomcat or Jetty). Commercially I believe it could
be
very interesting...
I'm confident we will find soon a solution to run OFBiz under Geronimo
itself (I tried also wiht last version : 2.1). But actually it's not a
real
problem as wasce 2 is available for free. I'm not sure about the sources
though. Anyway, it's not bad to pretend running under an IBM application
server, PHBs like it ;o)
