The Apache Geronimo Project has released the version 2.0.1 of Apache Geronimo.
This release represents the latest open source Java Enterprise Edition 5.0 application server from the Apache Geronimo project, and continues the evolution of the Apache Geronimo server by adding new features and capabilities to a fully compliant and certified Java Enterprise Edition 5.0 container suitable for everything from a development environment to enterprise-level deployments.
The newly released Apache Geronimo 2.0.1 breaks new ground as the first open source Application Server to provide two certified JAX-WS Web Services implementations: Apache Axis2 and Apache CXF. This capability further highlights the flexibility of Apache Geronimo which also provides two certified web container implementations: Apache Tomcat and Jetty.
Geronimo 2.0.1 also introduces new features such as simplified development, improved diagnostics and flexible assemblies. Simplified deployment is achieved through the use of standards based programming model enhancements found in Java Enterprise Edition 5.0. This includes support for the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB3) specification as implemented by the Apache OpenEJB and Apache OpenJPA projects.
Improved diagnostic capabilities include enhanced logging, class loader viewer as well as JMX browser which are all available from the web based console. Change logging levels on the fly as well as view existing logs with a set of filters. Looking for a class and wondering where it came from? The class loader viewer let’s you find them. Want to see or change the attributes for MBeans in the server? The JMX browser allows you to navigate the MBeans in the server in a simple tree format without having to hook up external consoles or third party products.
In addition, the Certification Authority portlet provides a user friendly interface to setup a Certification Authority, your own Public-Key Infrastructure, and use server/client Digital Certificates for securing your applications.
Flexible assemblies are realized through the project’s continued development of ”Little G” 2.0.1 ? a lightweight container offering for projects that don’t need the full feature set of Java Enterprise Edition 5.0. Perfect for web-service and SOA deployments, "Little G" brings the modularity, manageability and extensibility of Apache Geronimo to a lightweight assembly that is small in footprint but full of capability.
The software can be downloaded from the Apache Geronimo web site http://geronimo.apache.org/downloads
Apache Geronimo 1.1 has been released and is available for user download. It includes numerous bug fixes as well as improvments to perforance, usability and brand new Plug-in feature that allows a user to dynamically build a server to suit their needs. Also included is a Little-G distribution that provides a subset of Geronimo components in a light weight download form. Check it out at here.
The Apache Software Foundation is pleased to announce the release of Apache Geronimo 1.0 and welcomes the incubation of key sub-projects, including ActiveMQ, OpenEJB, ServiceMix, WADI and XBean, that will now be supported by the Apache Software Foundation's development, licensing, planning and release process.
Apache Geronimo 1.0 introduces complete J2EE 1.4 certification, support for Java Business Integration (JBI), Jetty or Tomcat Web container deployment options, a complete Web-enabled management console based on Java Portlets, full integration with the Eclipse Web Tools Project, and integration of Apache Derby and the Apache Directory Server.
The following technologies have been accepted into the Apache Incubator as future sub-projects of Apache Geronimo:
- ActiveMQ - a JMS-compliant enterprise messaging platform
- OpenEJB - a modular, configurable, and extendable EJB Container System and EJB Server
- ServiceMix - a JBI-based enterprise service bus and SOA toolkit
- WADI - a clustering, load-balancing and fail-over solution
- XBean - a plug-in-based server framework, analogous to the Eclipse plug-in-based, IDE framework
The Apache Geronimo Application 1.0 server platform and its sub-projects may be downloaded free of charge, in source and binary form, under the terms of the Apache 2.0 license agreement. For more information and to download, please visit http://geronimo.apache.org/.

The Geronimo project is now out of Apache Incubator and has been granted top-level project status by the ASF. The objective of the Apache Geronimo project is to produce an open source, certified implementation of the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) specification licensed under the Apache License and offered to the public at no charge.
Since its inception in August 2003, the Geronimo project has been working under the oversight of the Apache Incubator, a process used by the ASF to ensure new projects build a healthy community. The process also provides oversight and inspection of the codebase to ensure that it conforms to the Foundation's high standards for licensing and code integrity.
The board of the apache software foundation approved the graduation of the Apache Geronimo project from within the Incubator to its own "top level" project. Geir Magnusson will be the new Chair of Apache Geronimo.

The Geronimo team is pleased to announce the availability of our first milestone release, 1.0 M1. (Note: Apache Geronimo is now under incubation)
M1 marks the first of many milestone releases to come. This milestone integrates the main container components: Geronimo, MX4J, Jetty, OpenEJB and ActiveMQ. It has been amazing to see our communities come together and show such strong support for Apache Geronimo.
There is still much work to be done on this integration and we look forward to fostering more collaboration between our projects to create an even more unified M2.
As this is our first release and bound to draw a lot of attention, we have put together a thorough set of release notes which detail the current state of Geronimo.
http://incubator.apache.org/geronimo/RELEASE-NOTES-1.0-M1.html
We advise that this is simply a milestone release and is not for general use, nor is it any indication of a final release. Our goal with this release is to start out slowly with a base set of functionality and gather some initial feedback that we can incorporate into future milestones.
The binaries can be downloaded from Apache at:
http://cvs.apache.org/dist/incubator/geronimo

As you may have heard by now, the Apache Software Foundation has initiated a project to develop an open source, Apache-licensed implementation of the J2EE specification. In addition, the project is committed to certifying the implementation as J2EE compliant. This is an ambitious goal and will present a formidable challenge for the people involved, given the wide range of technologies covered by the specification.
The project (tentatively named "Apache Geronimo") builds upon the many Java projects at the Apache Software Foundation. In addition, the project is bringing together leading members of the Castor, JBoss, MX4J and OpenEJB communities. We would like to extend an open invitation to everyone involved in the J2EE space, both commercial entities and talented individuals, to join the community and build a world-class J2EE implementation.
The Apache Software Foundation is in a unique position to build a J2EE compliant platform. Our non-profit, charity status, and our relationship with Sun Microsystems, provides the Foundation with access to the J2EE TCKs, making it possible to achieve certification. In addition, our flexible and unrestrictive licensing makes it possible for a wide variety of participants to assist in the development of Apache Geronimo, and to build their own solutions upon the platform.
Apache Geronimo has been launched within the Apache Incubator. You can find more information about the Incubator at http://incubator.apache.org/.
Mailing Lists
Apache Geronimo has two mailing lists of interest:
geronimo-dev@incubator.apache.org
geronimo-cvs@incubator.apache.org
The geronimo-dev mailing list is where all the discussion occurs. The geronimo-cvs mailing list receives commit mails each time a commit is made to the incubator-geronimo CVS module.
You can subscribe to the mailing lists by sending an email to one or both of the following addresses:
geronimo-dev-subscribe@incubator.apache.org
geronimo-cvs-subscribe@incubator.apache.org
The original proposal of Geronimo can be found from here.

Greg Stein,
Chairman of the Apache Software Foundation
