This page is intend to describing Geronimo directory structure and explaining the specified usage of each directory or file under <GERONIMO_HOME>.
<GERONIMO_HOME>

Home directory of Geronimo installation

  • /bin/

    Directory that holds user utilities scripts

  • /deploy/

    Directory used for hot-deploy. The directory is created by a Geronimo plug-in org.apache.geronimo.configs/hot-deployer//car when the plug-in is loaded. By default, org.apache.geronimo.deployment.hot.DirectoryMonitor scans the directory for new archives or exploded application every 2000 ms. You can alter the default hot-deploy directory and polling interval by overriding a gbean named org.apache.geronimo.deployment.hot.DirectoryHotDeployer as followed:

    ...
    <gbean gbeaninfo="org.apache.geronimo.deployment.hot.DirectoryHotDeployer"
           name="=org.apache.geronimo.configs/hot-deployer/2.2-SNAPSHOT/car?ServiceModule=org.apache.geronimo.configs/hot-deployer/2.2-SNAPSHOT/car,j2eeType=GBean,name=NewHotDeployer">
            <attribute name="path">NewHotDeploy/</attribute>
            <attribute name="pollIntervalMillis">6000</attribute>
            <reference name="ServerInfo">
                    <pattern>
                        <groupId>org.apache.geronimo.framework</groupId>
                        <artifactId>j2ee-system</artifactId>
                        <version>2.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
                        <type>car</type>
                        <name>ServerInfo</name>
                    </pattern>
             </reference>
