Hi,yuesef
  thanks for replay. see the url "Updating a GBean's classloader"

  in the 2006. core team has a approach for geronimo integration with gbean
model.
  but from the svn I don't find out code for this feature. I don't know,
what happen, the core team
don't implementation this feature.  if you know can tell me
  contribute your method (with geronimo), this is a good experience for
ofbizer.
  I hope ofbiz go to open......

Re: about geronimo

[Jacques Le Roux <ja...@les7arts.com>]

I explain how to make it works with IBM WASCE 2  (which is dervived from Geronimo 2.0.1) here
http://docs.ofbiz.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4098
It's not a sophisticate approach, but it works fine for now. You will find all what is needed in framework/appserver/wasce2

As it's explained in the link above, it does not work with Geronimo 2.0.1 yet. I will open a Geronimo Jira soon.
Moreover I wonder if, in the case of Geronino, Little-G could not be a way to go : in the way I did it we don't need GBeans.

Some facts : running OFBiz in Geronimo implies a 2xfootprint, from which my Little-G expectation.
Independently of my client's need, I saw an advantage in using Geronimo : we could expect to run OFBiz multi-instances in one 
application server. But as I explain in the link above there are still some problems to fix.
