that won't really work.

There have been a lot of gbean structure changes recently and  
definitely since 2.1.x so you will almost certainly need to redeploy  
your apps.

I strongly recommend that you use maven to build your applications  
(and db pools etc) into plugins and then assemble a custom server  
including them (again using maven)  This gives you a reproducible  
process in version control that generates the server you want with the  
apps you need in it.

One possible problem is that until very recently if you used the  
console to deploy something such as a db pool geronimo didn't save the  
plan for you.  However, you'd still have to come up with the plan  
somehow since you probably need to redeploy.

Hope this helps
