Mark Struberg closed GERONIMO-4799.
-----------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix

Closing old outdated issues.

Note that the Apache Geronimo Application Server itself was declared EOL in 2017 and we do not maintain the server parts anymore.

We still do actively maintain many of the Java EE / Jakarta EE which saw the light during creation of the Apache Geronimo Aplication Server.
If you feel that this ticket still affects one of those components then please feel free to reopen the ticket.
thanks, your Apache Geronimo team!

> Since java has no real process isolation, a misbehaved JEE application can bring down an entire server (if it has a bug with an infinite-loop for example, or simply because each time applications are undeployed the JVM is no able to really reclaim all the memory spaced because of bugs inherent in the JVM design).
>  In OAS (Oracle Application Server) this problem is solved by using multiple instances, this is of course possible in Geronimo (nobody prevents you from running several instances of Geronimo in your server) but has to be done manually. I would like to see an option in Geronimo Managment UI where I could just click a button saying: "Create new Geronimo Instance" and then be able to "Transfer selected applications to another Geronimo Instance" that way related applications can be kept in the same instance, and unrelated ones can be kept in different instances that can be restarted independently if they misbehave.
