reason to use the geronimo

Hello,

I am testing the geronimo in environments of tests, but wanted to think of
people more specialised on the subject. In general what the advantages of
geronimo in relation to other free solutions.

Hi Wilbert,
Documentation on our latest 2.1 release is here -- http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC21/documentation.html

It includes documentation on sample applications (something we're  
currently working on) -- http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC21/sample-applications.html

It also includes some tutorials for developing using Eclipse -- http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC21/tutorials.html

thanks again, these days I have thoroughly tested the geronimo, and in the
end I am satisfied with its performance, I read in a material and I am more
excited to see it in production, but many application s need to adapt. will
be that you could give a tutorial on setting a JEE application for the
geronimo?

Hi Wilbert,
Here's a pointer to the latest performance report on Geronimo, that  
I'm aware of

http://people.apache.org/~hogstrom/performance/geronimo/2.0/Geronimo2.0.2PerformanceReport-v01draft.pdf

This report isn't really a "competitive" comparison. So, I doubt that  
it will answer your questions.

There is also http://people.apache.org/~hogstrom/Geronimo-1.1.1-PerformanceReport.pdf
Which is an older study. However, it did include comparisons to a  
"Performance Target", which was a based on measurements of a number of  
unnamed app servers (proprietary and open source). Geronimo was  
compared to the best result in each category.

Hi kevan, thanks for you response, but you know say if the performance,
memory consumption, pool management, security and response time of the
geronimo is compared to its competitors?

Hi Wilbert,
Here are a few reasons:

* flexible server -- geronimo is a component based server (has been  
from the beginning). We provide a JEE5 compliant and Web Tier (JSP/ 
Servlet) server images. However, you can easily build server images  
which are customized to your application requirements. For example, if  
your application(s) don't use JMS, the server images won't contain  
them. Alternatively, you can choose the functions that you'd like to  
include (e.g. JSP/Servlet, JMS, deploy, and admin console).

* maven -- maven integration for building server images (see above),  
controlling servers, and deploying applications

* plugins -- geronimo plugins provide an easy mechanism for installing  
server function or user applications into a geronimo server

* admin console -- easy to use interface for modifying a server's  
configuration and settings survive server restart.

* jee 5 certified

* apache -- apache community, license, etc
