Apache Geronimo Version 2.0 released by Apache Software Foundation
date/time/location—The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) announced
today the release of Apache Geronimo Version 2.0. 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 container suitable for everything from a development
environment to enterprise-level deployments.
Apache Geronimo Version 2.0 introduces several new features like
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.
Some of the new features include:
Streamlined development options provided with Java Enterprise Edition 5.0
EJB 3.0 persistence
A programming model that uses annotations to express developer
defaults in the source code
Improved diagnostic capabilities include enhanced logging, class
loader viewer as well as JMX browser all available from the included
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.
Flexible assemblies are realized through the project’s continued
promotion of the ”Little G” Version 2.0—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.
This flexible, user-friendly, and easy-to-configure application server
is built from best-of-breed open source components and is fully
licensed under the Apache Software License, offering multiple benefits
to organizations and their development teams. They can use Apache
Geronimo as-is or, if they so choose, create their own custom
offerings without the restrictions imposed by other Open Source licenses.
Finally, Apache Geronimo 2.0 is breaks new ground with as the first
Open Source Application Server to provide its users with two certified
Web Services implementations. Users can choose between Apache Axis
and Apache CXF for their JAX-WS Web Services provider. Flexibility
and choice, you have both with Apache Geronimo.
The software can be downloaded for free from the Apache Geronimo web
site ( http://geronimo.apache.org/).
