Starting and Stopping Geronimo in Gshell

...

deploy/connect can be used to connect to an instance of Geronimo that is already running. If no options are provided, then the default port (1099) and host (localhost) will be used to connect to a server. The -p) option can be used to specify a different port and -s to specify a remote hostname.

Deploying an Application to a Server Instance

deploy/deploy can be used to deploy a module to the geronimo instance that is currently connected.

A module file can be one of the following:

• J2EE Enterprise Application Archive (EAR) file
• J2EE Web Application Archive (WAR) file
• J2EE Enterprise JavaBean Archive (JAR) file
• J2EE Java Resource Archive (RAR) file

jason@butters:/> deploy/deploy <module>             
Connecting to Geronimo server: localhost:1099
Username: system
Password: *******

The -u and -w options can be used to provide username and password when issuing the command. The -s option can be used to specify the hostname. If none specified, then the hostname defaults to localhost. Likewise -p can be used to specify a port to contact the host on with 1099 being the default. -i can be used to specify an inPlace deployment from the directory you are actually developing the application. In that instance, the path to the application would need to be provided in place of the location of the module.

A deployment plan is necessary to deploy an application. If the deployment plan is not in the WEB-INF directory of a module, then its location must be specified after the module in the command.

jason@butters:/> deploy/deploy <module> <deployment plan>
