Multiple Server Instances Issues (was Re: Geronimo v2.0 Documentation update)

[Ted Kirby <te...@gmail.com>]

Jack points out the need to change port numbers, and I have updated
the document at
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GMOxDOC20/Multiple+Repositories+and+Server+Instances.
The suggestion for an automated way to do this is a good one.

I have encountered two issues in my testing.

1. After defining a second instance on the same machine, and manually
changing all the port numbers in config.xml, I still get two
port-in-use failures:

10:46:08,031 DEBUG [GBeanInstanceState] GBeanInstanceState for:
org.apache.geronimo.configs/openejb/2.0-SNAPSHOT/car?ServiceModule=org.apache.geronimo.configs/openejb/2.0-SNAPSHOT/car,j2eeType=GBean,name=DefaultBMPContainer
State changed from starting to running
10:46:08,125 FATAL [remote] Service Start Failed: admin thread
127.0.0.1 4200: Service failed to start.: Address already in use:
NET_Bind
10:46:08,125 FATAL [remote] Service Start Failed: ejbd 0.0.0.0 4201:
Service failed to start.: Address already in use: NET_Bind

4201 is fixed by adding:
    <module name="org.apache.geronimo.configs/openejb/2.0-SNAPSHOT/car">
        <gbean name="EJBNetworkService">
            <attribute name="port">4208</attribute>
        </gbean>
    </module>
to config.xml.

I cannot figure out how to change the 4200, nor can I find it in the
code.  Can anyone tell me how/where to change this port number?

2. It seems that BrokerServiceGBeanImpl erroneously resolves the
activemq journal directory to GERONIMO_HOME via
serverInfo.resolve(dataDirectory), when I think it should resolve it
to the server base via serverInfo.resolveServer(dataDirectory).

I observer that the activemq journal is in
GERONIMO_HOME/var/activemq/journal with a last modified timestamp of
when I started my first server, and my SERVER_BASE/var has no activemq
directory.

I would be interested to learn the problem that was fixed by setting
GERONIMO_BASE.  From my reading of the java code, it is used only in
the geronimo.{bat.sh} scripts, not any of the java server code.
