Description

If running Geronimo with Java Service Wrapper (also mentioned in GERONIMO-693),
easy restart/shutdown functionality could be added to the JSW configuration
by adding the following lines to the Java Service Wrapper "wrapper.conf".

1. Filter settings. Add parameters as needed starting from 1
   wrapper.filter.trigger.1=JSWRestartGeronimo
   wrapper.filter.action.1=RESTART
   wrapper.filter.trigger.2=JSWShutdownGeronimo
   wrapper.filter.action.2=SHUTDOWN
   wrapper.filter.trigger.3=java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
   wrapper.filter.action.3=RESTART

The Servlet/JSP code for triggering shutdown/restart is then very
simple by printing an output to the standard out or err e.g.

System.out.println("JSWRestartGeronimo");

or

System.out.println("JSWShutdownGeronimo");

Also the "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError" which is not easy to
catch in the JVM can be handled this way using the JSW.

If added to some JSW configuration scripts packaged with
Geronimo the above configuration should also described
in the JSW section in the current documentation.
