<h3>Overview</h3>
<div style="margin-left: 0 ; border: 2px">
<p>
Apache Geronimo is a new effort coordinated by the Apache Software
Foundation to make a
J2EE compatible container. Please read the <a
href="geronimo-proposal.html">proposal</a>
that started the project in the incubator. We are also tracking our
<a href="status.html">status progressing through incubation</a>.
</p>
<p>
For more information, please read the latest snapshot of the <a
href="#FAQ">FAQ</a> below
or look at the <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo/";>geronimo
wiki</a>.
</p>
<p>
This is the official site for Geronimo while it's in the incubation
phase at Apache.
We have an alpha version of our
<a href="http://www.apache.org/~jstrachan/geronimo/";>future project
site</a>.

<h3>How do I get Involved?</h3>
<div style="margin-left: 0 ; border: 2px">
<p>
<strong>Quick Summary</strong>
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Subscribe to the <a href="#Mailing+Lists">mail lists</a>
</li>
<li>
Download code and materials from <a
href="#Where+is+the+source+and+download%3F">CVS</a>
</li>
<li>
Read the <a href="#FAQ">FAQ</a>
</li>
<li>
Participate and contribute!
</li>
</ul>
<p>
The most important step is to join the <a
href="#Mailing+Lists">mailing list</a>
It is not necessary to post a "Hi" message or to join the project.
By subscribing to
the list, you're joining the project. After that, it is all down to
participation.
</p>
<p>
As with all <a href="http://www.apache.org/";>Apache</a> projects, the
usual form is to get the
project's source via CVS tools, join the mailing list(s), find
something to do, and submit a patch to the mailing list for
their approval and application.
</p>
<p>
We assume that patch donators
are familiar with CVS, diff and patch. If you are not
familiar with those tools, or want additional information
about how things work, here are some links:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="http://www.apache.org/dev/contributors.html";>Apache Contributors
Technical Guide</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/site/getinvolved.html";>Jakarta's Get
Involved page.</a>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Geronimo, if it passes the incubation stage, will become an
<a href="http://www.apache.org/";>Apache</a> project.
As an Apache project, the Apache approach to open source community and
development will apply. If you aren't familar with how things are
done
by Apache projects, please familiarize yourself with the information
available on the <a href="http://www.apache.org";>site</a>.
Here are some good selections from the Jakarta project site that
should help you understand the Apache community process :

<h3>Mailing Lists</h3>
<div style="margin-left: 0 ; border: 2px">
<p>
Apache Geronimo has two mailing lists of interest, the
geronimo-dev list, where all the discussion
occurs, and the geronimo-cvs list, which receives commit mails each
time a commit is made to the incubator-geronimo <a
href="#Where+is+the+source+and+download%3F">CVS</a> module.
</p>
<p>
You can subscribe to the mailing lists by sending an email to
one or both of the following addresses :
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">[EMAIL PROTECTED]</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">[EMAIL PROTECTED]</a>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
To send a message to the Geronimo mailing list without subscribing,
try the following link:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a
href="mailto:[email protected]";>[email protected]</a>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
<strong>However</strong>,
unless you subscribe to the list, you may not get a response.
Subscribing to the list
is how you join the project, and follow events.
</p>
<p>
There is also a <a
href="http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/SummarizeList?listId=140";>mailing list
archive</a>,
where you can catch up on prior discussion.

We have a number of code donations "on deck" which are being
evaluated. Once those donations are processed, then they will
be checked into the Apache Geronimo CVS module.
</p>
<p>
The CVS module is named <span
class="codefrag">incubator-geronimo</span>. Here is
an example of checking out Apache Geronimo with the CVS
command-line client:
</p>
<pre class="code">
$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic
$ cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401/home/cvspublic
CVS password:
$ cvs checkout incubator-geronimo
...
</pre>
<div class="frame note">
<div class="label">Note</div>
<div class="content">
Use "anoncvs" for the anoncvs user's CVS password.
</div>
</div>
<p>
The code can be browsed through ViewCVS at
<a
href="http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/incubator-geronimo/";>http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/incubator-geronimo/</a>.

These are questions that have come up on the mailing list so far. They are
unofficial, but are best efforts by community members to record useful answers.
</p>
<p>
Some questions are unanswered as yet. Have an answer? Please discuss it on
the mailing list, and record the conclusion here.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Q: I'd like to find out more and help etc. What do I do next?</strong>
</p>
<p>
A: Participation on the project is via the mailing list and the source code
repository. You join by joining the mailing list, and by participating in
discussion. You help by contributing your ideas, enthusiasm, code,
documentation, tests, and intangibles.
</p>
<p>
The fundamental tenet of the ASF is that Great Communities build great code.
The emphasis is on Community; the code comes from that. If you want to help,
just join the mailing list, see what needs to be done, and do it.
</p>
<p>
Welcome. :-)
</p>
<p>
<strong>Q: Where is the mailing list? How do I subscribe?</strong>
</p>
<p>
A: The mailing list is [EMAIL PROTECTED] You subscribe by sending e-mail to
<a href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">[EMAIL PROTECTED]</a>.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Q: Is there an archive?</strong>
</p>
<p>
A: <a
href="http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/SummarizeList?listId=140";>[Apache J2EE
Archives]</a>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Q: Can you mail me if you're interested in me helping.</strong>
</p>
<p>
A: That's not how open source communities generally work. To the people who
have asked to be contacted if Apache are interested, it's unlikely that this
will happen with all the huge interest that this has generated. Better to stay
in touch with the mailing list.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Q: Where is the Apache CVS module</strong>
</p>
<p>
A: incubator-geronimo <a
href="http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/incubator-geronimo";>[Browse CVS]</a>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Q: The CVS module is empty, is there an issue</strong>
</p>
<p>
A: No. The initial committers have not publicly released the base code. Be
patient.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Q: Will it involve JBoss code.</strong>
</p>
<p>
A: No.
</p>
<p>
This is a new Apache project, running under Apache guidelines. The Apache
Software Foundation accepts only voluntary contributions of material from
authors who possess the legal right to donate it.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Q: Will it <insert some technical phrase here>?</strong>
</p>
<p>
A: It's probably worth holding these questions off for the moment. This
project is bringing together members and contributions from many existing J2EE
communities, and is just starting to come together.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Q: What are the rules for Geronimo?</strong>
</p>
<p>
A: See the <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/";>[Apache Incubator]</a> web
site.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Q: What's the website?</strong>
</p>
<p>
A: <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/projects/geronimo.html";>[Apache J2EE
Project]</a>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Q: What tools do I need to learn?</strong>
</p>
<p>
A: CVS. patch. Using a mail list.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Q: Relationship to JBoss and in particular, the JBoss source
base.</strong>
</p>
<p>
A: Several (former) JBoss committers are Geronimo committers. The JBoss
codebase cannot, and will not, be used, at all (it is LGPL).
</p>
<p>
<strong>Q: Does Geronimo replace Tomcat, JSTL etc.</strong>
</p>
<p>
A: No. Geronimo includes other services like Tomcat or Jetty for the web
container, OpenJMS for the JMS, Tyrex for the transaction manager etc. So
Geroimo focusses on being the J2EE container allowing other services to drop in
via JMX.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Q: What other projects will Geronimo reuse?</strong>
</p>
<p>
A: We suspect in the grand scheme of things to reuse various existing open
source projects. Anything which has a suitable BSD / ASF licence is up for
grabs. e.g. the following is a likely list of the things well be using (though
in no way is this definitive)...
</p>
<p>
From the ASF licenced projects...
</p>
<ul>
<li> MX4J for JMX </li>
<li> Tomcat or Jetty for Web Container </li>
<li> Axis for Web Services Stack </li>
<li> James for email </li>
<li> OJB for JDO </li>
<li> commons-jndi for JNDI </li>
</ul>
<p>
As well as some non-ASF licenced stuff which is BSD licenced
</p>
<ul>
<li> OpenJms for JMS </li>
<li> Tyrex for Transaction Manager </li>
</ul>
<p>
As well as the usual infrastructure...
</p>
<ul>
<li> commons-logging / log4j for logging </li>
<li> Xerces for XML parsing </li>
<li> maybe more of JakartaCommons as needed </li>
<li> Maven for building the distributions & website </li>
<li>JUnit for unit testing </li>
</ul>
<p>
(1) There is currently a JNDI implementation in Tomcat's CVS. It might be
better to move this to Jakarta Commons so we can all work & extend it -
there are various features from Jetty and OpenEjb we'd like to add?
</p>
<p>
<strong> Q: Administration Overview such as an amalgamation of many projects
or one large project with subject areas.</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Q: Timeline to 1.0 (what does it include).</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Q: Will Geronimo be compliant with Sun's CTS.</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Q: What is Geronimo's Architectural vision and what does the back
plane look like (i.e., is it JMX based?).</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Q: What standards are targeted and which are under active
development?</strong>

<h3>Section 0 : Rationale</h3>
<div style="margin-left: 0 ; border: 2px">
<p>
The Java 2, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) platform is employed widely by
organizations implementing enterprise applications. It is commonly used in
business-to-consumer and most recently in Web service deployments. Most
of
the largest business organizations today have deployed applications on a
J2EE platform.
</p>
<p>
While the J2EE specification is implemented by a number of large and small
vendors, there is no open source J2EE container available with a BSD or
BSD-derived licence nor is there an open source project today that
provides
a fully compliant implementation. Verifiable compliance with the J2EE
specification is important to business because it ensures that
applications
deployed by developers are portable and interoperable across J2EE
providers.
As a result organizations large and small have felt compelled to pay
thousands of dollars to commercial vendors in order to deploy applications
based on J2EE compliant servers.
</p>
<p>
The Apache foundation supports several projects that implement pieces of
the
J2EE platform such as Servlets, JSP, Tag Libraries, and a Web services
stack. However, Apache does not currently support a J2EE project.
</p>
<p>
The aim of the project is to produce a large and healthy community of J2EE
developers tasked with the development of an open source, certified J2EE
server which is ASF licensed and passes Sun's TCK reusing the best ASF/BSD
licensed code available today and adding new code to complete the J2EE
stack.
</p>
</div>
<a name="N10033"></a><a name="Section+0.1+%3A+criteria"></a>
<h3>Section 0.1 : criteria</h3>
<div style="margin-left: 0 ; border: 2px">
<p>
We feel that this project has a good chance for success as the following
project aspects are carefully considered :
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Meritocracy: The project will be meritocratic - the usual Apache
meritocracy rules would apply.
</li>
<li>
Community: The user community for this project is potentially massive.
The initial developer community for this project consists of developers
from
Apache, Castor, JBoss, mx4j, and OpenEJB projects. The aim is for this
community to grow considerably once this project goes public.
</li>
<li>
Core Developers: The initial developers are listed below and consist of
some existing Apache committers together with committers from Castor,
JBoss, mx4j and OpenEJB. We believe that as the project grows, the
modular
nature of the J2EE stack will require steady expansion of the committer
group that is considered 'core' - thus providing a healthier, more robust
developer community.
</li>
<li>
Alignment: There is clear alignment with many existing Apache projects.
From Jakarta projects such as Tomcat, James and log4j initially as well as
possibly others along the way. J2EE now includes a web services stack and
so
there will be some alignment with the WS project, Axis in particular,
along
with the reuse of several XML projects. In addition the J2EE Server
project
may reuse other ASF/BSD licensed code which is not currently hosted in
source form at Apache such as (at time of writing) mx4j, openjms and
tyrex.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
However we see the J2EE Server project as a separate project to existing
Apache projects, serving two primary roles
</p>
<ul>
<li>
integration of various existing and new code bases into a J2EE stack,
with those codebases existing both inside and outside of the project
</li>
<li>
certification of the J2EE stack
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Note that the J2EE server project can happily support competition within
the
J2EE services stack (for example, offering choices for elements such as
the
servlet engine like Tomcat or Jetty, or some new JTA implementation versus
Tyrex or some new JMS implementation versus OpenJMS etc).

<h3>Section 0.2 : warning signs</h3>
<div style="margin-left: 0 ; border: 2px">
<p>
We feel that this project has a good chance for success as the following
warning signs do not apply to the project we are proposing :
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Orphaned products: This project is starting with a new code base together
with reusing lots of the currently available high quality J2EE open source
code out there which is ASF/BSD licensed.
</li>
<li>
Inexperience with open source: The initial community is made up of
existing Apache, Castor, JBoss, mx4j , and OpenEJB committers.
</li>
<li>
Homogeneous developers: The current list of committers represents
developers from various backgrounds and open source projects, employed by
various companies and based around the globe in the US, Europe, Asia and
Australia. There will be no majority bloc, at least from the start.
</li>
<li>
Reliance on salaried developers: None of the initial developers are
currently paid to work on the J2EE project.
</li>
<li>
No ties to other Apache products: The J2EE Server project is
complementary to existing technologies at Apache. Indeed it will integrate
many of those technologies in an effort to provide a code base that can be
J2EE certified according to the JCP process.
</li>
<li>
A fascination with the Apache brand: The committers are interested in
developing a healthy open source community around an ASF/BSD licensed J2EE
certified server, whether Apache is the right place or not. The aspects
of
Apache that attract this effort are the experienced stewardship of open
source projects by the ASF, the non-profit status of the ASF for TCK
certification, and the existing Java community that has been a
longstanding
part of the ASF.

<h3>Section 1 : scope of the project</h3>
<div style="margin-left: 0 ; border: 2px">
<p>
There are two main aspects to this Apache project :
</p>
<ul>
<li>
a complete J2EE certified server which is fully ASF/BSD licensed and
backed by a healthy open source community.
</li>
<li>
to create a fully modular J2EE stack so that the Apache community can use
whichever parts of the J2EE stack they require separate from the J2EE
server
project.

<h3>Section 2 : initial source from which the project is to be populated</h3>
<div style="margin-left: 0 ; border: 2px">
<p>
There are several potential initial contributions. Upon formation of the
project our first action will be an open, public call for contribution and
comment from the J2EE community. Because of recent circumstances in the
J2EE OSS community, all code proposed for inclusion must be publicly
reviewed and open to public comment.
