Assembling a server via command line

Similarly you can use the gshell deploy/assemble command specifying the same information on the command line interactively.

TODO: The groupId is not currently used but the intention is to copy the assembled server into an appropriate maven repository.

Here's an example of a gshell script to install the roller plugin into the framework assembly and extract a server that only supports roller (and does not include the admin console or any deployment capabilities)

TODO: use something like this: snippet:url=geronimo/plugins/roller/trunk/roller-jetty-commands

TODO: get gshell to accept line continuations as in the following (these DO NOT WORK IN REAL LIFE):

...

By default, target location of newly assembled server is directory /var/temp, target packge format is tar.gz and version number is 1.0. User will have to input groupId and artifactId.

# run using ./bin/gsh

...

User@server:/>deploy/assemble -g org.apache.geronimo.asseblies -a testServer -v 1.0 -u system -w manager

...

Then gshell will ask you with a list of assembly modes.

Available custom assembly modes:
 1:    Function Centric
 2:    Application Centric
 3:    Expert Users
Please select a custom assembly mode [1,2,3]

• Choose 1 or 2 to assemble a server using plugin groups. In order to get a working server you must include the framework plugin group (Geronimo Plugin Group :: Framework) which includes several plugins used to start the server.

• Choose 3 to Assembling a server using plugins as an experienced user. In order to get a working server you must include the plugin (Geronimo Assemblies :: Boilerplate) which includes several files used to start the server

  Tip
  title Important Note

After you input your choice, you will have to select plugin or plugins group you intend to install and click Enter. A few minutes later, your assembly will be ready for use.
