Geronimo 3

[Martin Storch <m....@stud.fh-sm.de>]

Hi there,

when will Geronimo 3.0 be done?

When I use Geronimo as an App-Server, do I still need (to install) Tomcat?
How are all these Apache-Apps are working together? I'm confused!

So I need Cocoon (as a web development framework) and Tomcat (as a Servlet
Container) and still Geronimo? For what?

Is "Geronimo 2.x" with Java EE 5 and "Tomcat 7.x" with JavaBeans 3.0
compatible?


Thank you!
Cheers,
Martin

We're a few months away. We haven't set a release target, yet.

Geronimo creates server assemblies which embed either Tomcat or Jetty. You don't need to install them separately. They are included in the server distribution.

If you need Java EE capabilities, you'd want Geronimo. If you simply need JSP/Servlet support, then either Tomcat, Jetty, or Geronimo can be used.

Geronimo 2.1.x and 2.2.x both support Java EE 5 (and thus the  Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0 specification).
