I am curious what is this dojo-tomcat application that shows up on the
Geronimo console?

I wasn't one of the people who worked on adding Dojo to the console.
But I do use Dojo for some simple widgets (date entry and tooltips) and
for handling AJAX.
The AJAX support in Dojo is excellent. Obviously, it would have to be
for any javascript library to even be mentioned nowadays. And handling
for the DOM is really straight forward.
As far as really taking advantage of Dojo, I cannot really comment. The
big differentiator for Dojo is that it tries to include everything you
could need in a javascript library - in dynamically loaded chunks so
that you only need to download the parts you are using (besides the
standard core).
Documentation is probably their weakest point (as it is for just about
every open source project). But even that has been getting better.
They have an active mailing list and user questions seem to be answered
rather quickly.
Hope that helps,
Jay

Peter,
We include a copy of the Dojo javascript library as a web app in the JEE
versions of the server. There are actually two of them included. One
is Dojo version 0.4.x (dojo-legacy-tomcat or dojo-legacy-jetty) and the
other is Dojo version 1.1.x (dojo-tomcat or dojo-jetty).
Because these are there, anyone can easily build webapps that use the
Dojo library without having to incorporate it directly into your app.
We originally included Dojo because there are a couple of screens in the
console that use it. Those screens were written with the 0.4 version.
Once all of those screens are rewritten to use the newer (non beta)
version, we will probably remove the dojo-legacy apps to get the server
footprint smaller.
