Defining Servers

Follow the steps below to define a new Geronimo v2.1 Server:

Geronimo Server Runtimes and Servers

A Geronimo Server Runtime in GEP associates a Geronimo 2.1 Server installation with a JRE to be used to run that server. A Geronimo Server in GEP associates a Geronimo Server Runtime with a profile consisting of Security settings, Publish Settings, Port Configuration, Java VM settings to be used with that Geronimo Server Runtime.
