Introductionintro
Every service,application or resource in Geronimo is configured with an xml deployment plan.Deployment plans are the Geronimo version of the J2EE deployment descriptors. They are still XML files based on XML schemas and containing the configuration details for a specific application module. Via the deployment plans you can not only deploy application modules but also other configurations such as a security realm etc..This is the (f)First step on to first step in Geronimo v1.1 2 deployment plans which with cover ( a ) very simple samples( sample).Upcoming,(n)Next .
The next step of deployment plans( plan ) will be ready for users soon, which will provides( provide ) you ( with )on complex and advance samples.This first steps( step ) will help (for -delete)

Deploying and Undeploying Helloworld sample.
This section will cover (best to put them as bulleted points)to understand understanding how the deployment plan works for each one of different application modules.
First let's have look at the simple "HelloWorld"example which creates a Web Application Archive (WAR) under the WEB-INF directory and has a geronimo-web.xml as the (A)apache Apache Geronimo specific deployment Plan.
Here are the steps to understand the deployment plan for the "HelloWorld" Example
1.Create a folder in called <app_home> in your working directory
2.Open up a new text file and save it as "HelloWorld.jsp" in side the app_home directory
3.Copy and past(e) paste the following code for ( with ) the "HelloWorld.jsp" in it.
...
4.Create a new folder called WEB-INF inside the app-home (app_home directory).
5.Open up ( a ) new text file and save it as "geronimo-web.xml" (use simple letters) and this is the apache geronimo1.1deployment Apache Geronimo v1.2 deployment plan for this sample module.
6.Copy and paste the following xml code in that file and save it inside the <app_home\WEB-INF> directcory( directory).
...
7.Open up(delete -up) a another new text file save it in <app_home\WEB_INF> directory and name it as "web.xml"
8.Copy and P(p)aste paste the following xml code in it and save.
...
...
9.The next step is packaging the application.From a command line window change ( the ) directory to <app_home> and run the following command to package the HelloWorld application into a single .war file.No Format
#000000
This will create a HelloWorld.war file in the <app_home> directory. The next step is to deploy this application.
10.User can use the preferable ( preferred ) deployment approach either command line or the Geronimo Web Console.
Here it describes how to use the command line.
11.Change directory to <geronimo_home>/bin and run the following command:No Format
#000000

Steps to

deploying the sample
(There are two ways in which the sample can be deployed ):-
(1. The sample can be built from scratch using the build.xml and editing the geronimo_home as your directory. Obtain the helloworld-ejbs.jar from the dist directory and use the Geronimo web console. Browse for the helloworld-ejbs.jar file and click on the Install button.
2.Use the following command line code to deploy the application.) The user either can build the sample from the begining using the build.xml by editing the required geronimo_home as your relevant or directly get the helloworld-ejbs.jar from the "dist" directory for the direct deployment.Geronimo wen (web) console can be used for the direct deployment,what all you have to do is browse to the hellowolrd-ejbs.jar file and click the button install.Otherwise use the following command line option to deploy the application.

Deploying the EAR Application On Geronimo V1.1(v1.1)
This sample application gives you an overview of basic steps to deploy an ear application in (G)geronimo V1.1(v1.1)
Though this is a simple application it helps new users to understand the basics of GeronimoV1.1 (v1.1)specific deployment plan for an EAR and move on to work with complex applications. In this sample ,Servelts are used in the back end while JSP is used in the front end.
Following graft is shown the folder structure of it.(The following diagram depicts the folder structure.)

Deploying a J2EE Connector resources archive (RAR) with

In this This section will describe the deployment plan for RAR application with Geronimo ( v1.1)V1.12.The base of this sample has been ( borrowed )barrowed and modified from User Guide.(Migration to Apache Geronimo-JBoss to (G)geronimo Geronimo JCA migration.html)This sample contains a File Retriever JCA sample application it consists of two modules that, (for the purpose of this sample)for this sample purposes, are deployed separately and not as a single EAR archive.
The first module is a simple file system resource adapter that conforms to the JCA architecture without any server-specific extensions. The adapter provides only(delete - only) two functions:
- Lists name(s) names of files and directories located in a specific repository being a directory in the underlying file system.
- Retrieves the content of one of the files.
...
Folder structure for the JCA sample is shown below.

...
J2EE RAR Deployment Plan
...
...
J2EE RAR GeronimoV1.1 (Geronimo v1.1 ) deployment plan
...
...
To deploy the adapter on Geronimo you also need a deployment plan specific to this server. Such a plan can be either named geronimo-ra.xml and be placed into the META-INF folder of the corresponding RAR archive, or can have any name and stay outside the archive. In the latter case, the path to the plan should be specified during the deployment of the resource adapter.
The deployment plan used by the sample application contains the repository path configuration parameter that may be updated before the deployment. Because of this, the jca-plan.xml file is not included in the RAR archive but it is placed into the <jca_home>/meta/geronimo directory instead. The content of this file is listed in the following example.
...
...
In this deployment plan the attribute <dep:moduleId> </dep:moduleId>segment specifies the unique name com/ibm/j2g/jca.rar used to identify the RAR module in Geronimo and that this module is deployed on the server as a separate component.
The descriptor also:
- Defines the FileRetriever name which looks up for (delete-for) the resource adapter factory.
- Specifies that neither transactions nor connection pool(s) pools are supported.
- Provides ( the ) value of the repository path configuration parameter.
Building the sample Application.
In order to build the modules of the File Retriever JCA application you need to update the build.properties file and property such as (geronimo_home)geronimo-home matchs (matches) <geronimo_home> matches your environment.
Next step is the deploying the rar RAR application with Geronimo.
As stated in the previous examples user will have two choices of deploying an application with geronimo Geronimo either Geronimo web console or command line.Here the command line option is described following.
From a command line, change directory to <jca_home> and type the following commands:
Deploying jca-plan.xml and rar No Format
#000000
#000000

Once the JCA application is deployed, open a Web browser and access the following URL:
