Regarding both Geronimo javaee6 and minimal release bundles. Full support for multiple repositories was completed in GERONIMO-6270 and its sub-tasks. This support is available in the latest snapshots after March 1, 2012, and will be in the 3.0-beta-2 standard release. This documents how to setup multiple repositories after applying the changes from GERONIMO-6270.
For prior releases, this document can still be followed if the org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.defaultRepositories
property is set properly, described in this document.

excerptINLINE
The advantage of having multiple repositories is that they can reside on different server instances.
...
For multiple instance support within a single Geronimo installation, it is recommended that each instance have its own local repository for deploying to (i.e. GERONIMO_SERVER/repository
). The primary shared repository (GERONIMO_HOME/repository
) in a multiple instance configuration should remain read-only.
This topic includes the following information:
...
Creating multiple repositories on a single server instance
...
- Start Geronimo.
- Create a directory repo2 under
<geronimo_home>
, for example,<geronimo_home>/repo2
. - Create a file
repo2.xml
under the<geronimo_home>/repo2
directory, for example:Code Block title solidrepo2.xmlborderStyle solid <module xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/deployment-1.2"> <environment> <moduleId> <groupId>org.example.configs</groupId> <artifactId>myrepo</artifactId> <version>2.2</version> <type>car</type> </moduleId> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.geronimo.framework</groupId> <artifactId>j2ee-system</artifactId> <type>car</type> </dependency> </dependencies> <hidden-classes/> <non-overridable-classes/> </environment> <gbean name="Repo2" class="org.apache.geronimo.system.repository.Maven2Repository"> <attribute name="root">repo2/</attribute> <attribute name="resolveToServer">false</attribute> <reference name="ServerInfo"> <name>ServerInfo</name> </reference> </gbean> <gbean name="Local2" class="org.apache.geronimo.system.configuration.RepositoryConfigurationStore"> <reference name="Repository"> <name>Repo2</name> </reference> </gbean> </module> - Deploy the
repo2.xml
from the command prompt:
deploy(.bat) deploy <GERONIMO_HOME>/repo2/repo2.xml
.
To verify that the repository is successfully deployed, you can list the targets on the current server with the command:
deploy(.bat) list-targets
, and you can see the following information:No Format Available Targets: org.apache.geronimo.framework/j2ee-system/2.2/car?ServiceModule=org.apache.geronimo.framework/j2ee-system/2.2/car,j2eeType=ConfigurationStore,name=Local org.example.configs/myrepo/2.2/car?ServiceModule=org.example.configs/myrepo/2.2/car,j2eeType=ConfigurationStore,name=Local2 - Update the
etc/org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.cfg
file, add the new second repository to theorg.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.defaultRepositories
property
The propertyorg.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.defaultRepositories
maintains a comma-delimited list of repositories that are used by the run-time server.
The format is:file:
< /absolute/path/to/repo2 >@snapshots
And if a variable it used, the new repository just deployed would be defined as:Code Block file:${org.apache.geronimo.server.dir}/repo2@snapshots And the resulting property would be set to something that looks like this:Code Block org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.defaultRepositories=file:${karaf.home}/repository@snapshots,file:${org.apache.geronimo.server.dir}/repo2@snapshots The first defined repository is the default and primary GERONIMO_HOME/repository, the second one is the new GERONIMO_HOME/repo2 repository just created.
...
- List the targets on the current server via the command:
deploy(.bat) list-targets
, and you can see the following information:No Format Available Targets: org.example.configs/myrepo/2.2/car?ServiceModule=org.example.configs/myrepo/2.2/car,j2eeType=ConfigurationStore,name=Local2 org.apache.geronimo.configs/j2ee-system/2.2/car?ServiceModule=org.apache.geronimo.configs/j2ee-system/2.2/car,j2eeType=ConfigurationStore,name=Local - Deploy the application to the repository repo2, named as "Local2" with the following deploy command:
- On a Windows system:
deploy.bat deploy --targets Local2 <SAMPLE_HOME>/applications/geronimo-jsp-examples/target/geronimo-jsp-examples-2.2.war - On a non-Windows system:
deploy deploy --targets Local2 <SAMPLE_HOME>/applications/geronimo-jsp-examples/target/geronimo-jsp-examples-2.2.war
where <SAMPLE_HOME> is the directory of your samples. Then, the jsp example is deployed to the new repository repo2. The following message is displayed:
...
Deployed
...
org.apache.geronimo.applications.examples/geronimo-jsp-examples/2.2/war
...
@
...
/jsp-examples
...
- Access the application at http:// < host > : < port > /jsp-examples.
- To undeploy the application from the repository repo2, run the following deploy (.bat) command:
- On a Windows system:
deploy.bat undeploy "org.apache.geronimo.applications.examples/geronimo-jsp-examples/2.2/war" - On a non-Windows system:
deploy undeploy "org.apache.geronimo.applications.examples/geronimo-jsp-examples/2.2/war"

Creating multiple repositories on multiple server instances
...
- Create a directory repo22 under
<geronimo_home>/server2
, for example,<geronimo_home>/server2/repo22
. - Create a file
repo22.xml
under the<geronimo_home>/server2/repo22
directory. For detailed information about the file, see creating multiple repositories. - Deploy the
repo22.xml
by running the following command from the command prompt:
- using non-Windows:
export GERONIMO_SERVER=server2
deploy -port instance2_RMI_port deploy $GERONIMO_HOME/server2/repo22/repo22.xml
- using Windows
set GERONIMO_SERVER "server2"
deploy.bat -port instance2_RMI_port deploy %GERONIMO_HOME%/server2/repo22/repo22.xml
You can follow the same steps to create repositories for server instance3.
...
- Note the repository name for the repository repo22 that you have previously created. We'll assume the name is Local22.
- Deploy the application to the repository repo22 with the following deploy(.bat) command:
- On a non-Windows system:
export GERONIMO_SERVER=server2
deploy -port instance2_RMI_port deploy --targets Local22 <SAMPLE_HOME>/applications/geronimo-jsp-examples/target/geronimo-jsp-examples-2.2.war - On a Windows system:
set GERONIMO_SERVER "server2"
deploy.bat -port instance2_RMI_port deploy --targets Local22 <SAMPLE_HOME>/applications/geronimo-jsp-examples/target/geronimo-jsp-examples-2.2.war
- Undeploy the jsp application from repo22 repository with the following command:
- On a non-Windows system:
export GERONIMO_SERVER=server2
deploy -port instance2_RMI_port undeploy org.apache.geronimo.applications.examples/geronimo-jsp-examples/2.2/war - On a Windows system:
set GERONIMO_SERVER "server2"
deploy.bat -port instance2_RMI_port undeploy org.apache.geronimo.applications.examples/geronimo-jsp-examples/2.2/war
You can follow the same steps to deploy applications to and undeploy applications from repositories on server instance3.
