I have just committed a demonstration Spring based Geronimo server. This server uses a spring.xml file to configure the server and actually uses the GBean.org Spring based kernel instead of the existing Geronimo kernel to wire together services.
The new code is located in sandbox/spring-assembly and you can try out the new server with the following:
cd sandbox/spring-assembly
maven
...
java -jar target/geronimo/bin/spring-server.jar org/apache/geronimo/ DebugConsole
Once the server finishes booting, open http://localhost:8080/debug-tool
The demonstration server is not fully working, so your milage may vary. If you are interested in helping making this a fully working server, please try it out and let me know what you don't like and what is broken (and then submit a patch).
