Starting only deployer

[Nell Gawor <ne...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

I thought I could start only the deployer by issuing the command:

java -jar server.jar org/apache/geronimo/RuntimeDeployer

Booting Geronimo Kernel (in Java 1.4.1)...
Starting Geronimo Application Server
[***] 100%   7s Startup complete
  Listening on Ports:
    1099 0.0.0.0 RMI Naming
    4201 0.0.0.0 ActiveIO Connector EJB
Geronimo Application Server started
Server shutdown begun
Server shutdown completed

but then when I try to do deploy list-modules, it doesn't work.   It 
seems like it thinks the server is not running:

deploy.bat list-modules
    Error: This command cannot be run unless connecting to a running
    server.  Specify --url if server is not running on the default port
    on localhost.

Am I misunderstanding how this is supposed to work?

Thanks,
Nell

For my 2 cents, you really shouldn't ever attempt to start only a
fraction of the server that way.  Odds are, it won't work as you
expect.

In this particular case I think the functionality previously
encapsulated in the RuntimeDeployer has been split out into several
configurations, and you also need the JMX infrastructure, etc. in
order to contact a server using the deployer.  I don't think we've
established exactly which configurations need to be started in order
to do something like this, so you'd have to study a lot of code or
just identify the right configurations through trial and error.  But
again, I wouldn't encourage it.
