Java™ Application Development on Linux - Dator

468Chapter 20Open Source Web <strong>Application</strong> Servers20.9RUNNING THE GERONIMO SERVERGetting the Geronimo server up and running is simply a matter of running aJava application contained in the server.jar file in the bin directory.$ cd /usr/local/geronimo$ java -jar bin/server.jar org/apache/geronimo/ServerThat last parameter looks like a pathname, but it isn’t. It is a configurationID which just uses the pathname-like syntax as a namespace, to be unique toGeronimo (by virtue of the /org/apache/geronimo prefix). That name tellsthe server which of the several possible configurations you want to use. Formore information on the other configurations, refer to the Geronimo Wiki. 20Having once invoked a particular configuration, you need not repeat thatconfiguration choice on subsequent invocations. That means that the next timeyou run Geronimo, you can just use:$ java -jar bin/server.jarIf you want to put this in a startup script you’ll want to use the fullspecification, so as to be absolutely sure what you are getting.To stop the server invoked from a command line, simply type Control-C.If the server was invoked from a startup script, you will need to find its processID (e.g., with the ps command) and use the Linux kill command to send ita signal.20.10REVIEWIn this chapter we have looked at the installation of both the JBoss andGeronimo Java application servers on a Linux platform. For both of these OpenSource servers installation was little more than getting the JAR files in a usablelocation. We reviewed the System V init system and explained how to add JBossto the regular system of services on your Linux box. We showed you how touse groups and permissions to enable a number of nonroot users to do the basicapplication server administration.20. http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo/
