Creating A New Server Instance

...

...

Start with a fresh image of geronimo. Do not use an image that has been used to run the default instance.

...

To create an instance named foo do the follwing. All your instance data will be put in <geronimo_home>/foo. All the directories named below are relative to <geronimo_home>.

...

  1. Set the org.apache.geronimo.server.name system property to the instance name before you start the server. Use the syntax -Dorg.apache.geronimo.server.name=foo for an instance named foo located at <geronimo_home>/foo. Add this to your GERONIMO_OPTS environment variable Tiptitle Windows Hint

    set GERONIMO_OPTS=-Dorg.apache.geronimo.server.name=foo

  2. Start the server using startup Code Block <geronimo_home>/bin/startup
  3. To shutdown this instance use the port number of RMI Naming port (default 1099) Code Block<geronimo_home>/bin/shutdown --port <port_num>
  4. To deploy applications to this instance use the port number of RMI Nmaing port Code Block<geronimo_home>/bin/deploy --port <port_num> deploy ......

The Geronimo Administration Console can also be used for all these operations. Connect to an instance by using the right HTTP port (default 8080)

...

The default instance is nameless, i.e. it is run from <geronimo_home>/var. It can be deleted!

Coming Soon!

The default instance named 'geronimo' will be created and run using the following. It will use <geronimo_home>/geronimo for instance data.
