Don't try to do this.  You  should either
a. call the geronimo deployer supplying the location of your war file =20=

from your script

or

b. use maven to "pre-deploy" your war into a geronimo plugin and have =20=

your script install the plugin by using the geronimo deployer

or (my preference)

c. use geronimo 2.2, and use maven to assemble a custom server =20
including the plugin as in 2.  In this case your script would just =20
unpack the server and start it.

If you copy an ee app into the geronimo repository geronimo won't know =20=

about it and there will be no way to tell geronimo to use it.  You =20
have to go through the geronimo deployment process so geronimo can set =20=

up additional info about your app, such as the fact that it should be =20=

started with the server (recorded in var/config/config.xml)
