David,

Thanks for the = reply, I will study this and see how I can set it up. Here are couple of = reasons:
=A0
i) when a developer has completed the = task he currently deploys the application to the server. It is easier to = show the changes to the users on the common development box for the work = that has been completed instead of having to display from his/her = machine.
=A0
ii) currently our development = environment is centralized (a percentage of security reason) + task = visibility + user productivity etc. and all the mgmt b*** ****. This is = pretty much how things work here, and has to stay that way :(.
=
=A0
There was an option to make changes in their = development environments and deploy them to a common environment but we = currently have this done into staging. The issues that can arise when = people deploy into a=A0common server location is very difficult to = debug.
=A0
Also, I was hoping if someone has = already taken the pain of setting this up to share his/her information. = If I manage to complete this and make the environments, I will certainly = publish this over here.

This is possible, but I have to wonder why your = developers don't just
run geronimo on their own machines.

You = can change the=A0=A0ports using the config.xml file.

You can = actually share the geronimo repository by starting with a
command = line argument

java -Dorg.apache.geronimo.server.name=3DmyServer = -jar bin/server.jar --
long

in which case the server specific = files will be located in myServer/var

However you may find that = each developer deploying the same app on
their server interferes = with the same app deployed by other developers.

this will require = you to change a lot of ports, such as jndi (1099),
remote deploy, = possibly the ejb listener, etc etc.

You can also just start a lot = of tomcat instances in one copy of
geronimo -- basically copy the = tomcat plan, rename the configuration,
and change all the ports, and = deploy it.=A0=A0the app deployment plan can
select the tomcat = instance using the <web-container> element (IIRC).
However the = apps will all have to have different moduleIds determined
by the = plan.

I hope you have a good reason to try to do this because it = is going
to be a substantial amount of nuisance to set up.
