This article is an attempt to cover as many administrative tasks as possible, common and not so common tasks. This article is grouped in four main sections having a similar flow to what you would find while using the Geronimo Administration Console, this way should be easier for you to familiarize on both tasks and console.
This article is organized in the following sections:
- #Administering the Apache Geronimo Server
- #Changing the Web container [Jetty or Tomcat]
- Starting and stopping the server
- Configuring resources
- Installing applications
- Starting and stopping application modules
- Configure log level
- Performance monitoring
- Adding new listeners for the Web containers
- Configuring the EJB server engine
- Configuring J2EE connectors
- CORBA/IIOP
- Configuring the UDDI server
- Configuring Services
- Adding files to the Geronimo repository
- Configuring database pools
- Configuring JMS
- Configuring JavaMail
- Administering applications
- Installing and removing applications
- Starting and stopping applications
- Administering security
- Addiing security realms
- Importing certificates
- Configure LDAP
- Configuring SSL
Administering the Apache Geronimo Server
Covered in this section are the most common, every day, server related administrative tasks you may deal with. Subsequent sections will focus on configuring services, managing applications and configuring security.
Changing the Web container [Jetty or Tomcat]
Selecting the Web container is very simple and it is limited to just renaming one file, the config.xml. Located in the <geronimo_home>/var/config directory there are several xml files. We will just focus on three of them:
- config.xml
- config.jetty.xml
- config.tomcat.xml
config.xml is the file actually being read at the server startup time, the other two are configuration templates for those particular Web containers. Renaming config.jetty.xml or config.tomcat.xml to config.xml will set the Web container to Jetty or Tomcat next time you start Apache Geronimo.
