Although the tools name is self-explanatory, it may not be the same case with the tool's parameters. The following sections explain more in detail these tools and commands usage.

geronimo

Anchor
geronimo geronimo

The geronimo command lets you perform the previous two actions, that is start and stop the server in different modes depending on the parameters you specify. This command has the following syntax:

...

Both start and stop options for this command will have the same set of parameters as the startup and shutdown commands.

startup

Anchor
startup startup

You can start the Apache Geronimo server in two different ways by running the following commands:

...

 *-override \[_configId_]*
Overrides the configurations in *<geronimo_home>/var/config.list* such that only the configurations listed on the command line will be started.  Note that many J2EE
features depend on certain configs being started, so you should be very careful what you omit.  Any arguments after *-override* are assumed to be configuration names.

shutdown

Anchor
shutdown shutdown

If the startup command starts the Apache Geronimo server, shutdown will definitively stop it. This command has the following syntax:

...

If you do not specify any parameters, this command will prompt you for a user name and password and will assume port 1099 by default and will not prompt for any port.

Deployer tool

Anchor
Deployer tool Deployer tool

The deployer application is a Java application that manages J2EE artifacts and GBean components in the Geronimo server. If Geronimo is running, it will connect to the server and perform its action through the server's deployment service. If it cannot find a running server, it will throw an error stating it could not connect to the server or the server is unavailable.

deploy

Anchor
deploy deploy

The deployer tool is used for installing, uninstalling, reinstalling, starting and stopping applications and modules and for installing and uninstalling configurations (for example some configuration specific deployment plans, security realms, database connection pools etc.). Due to the number of options in this case, this tool is covered in detail in the Deployer tool section.

...

The first argument identifies the Geronimo configuration that contains the application client you want to run. The rest of the arguments will be passed as arguments to the client application when it is started.

jpa.jar

Anchor
jpa.jar jpa.jar

The jpa.jar provides the OpenJPA persistance support.
