You're probably going to have several questions for me--I can't remember what state I left the tomcat stuff in. Just track me down on irc://irc.freenode.net/openejb when you start working. > > Do we expect that the way OpenEJB interacts with Tomcat will remain in > OpenEJB 2.0? Yes. It will be a little work, but I think we should be able to get things to work the same way from the user's perspective. So all the docs will still be good. > I lost the track and don't know if OpenEJB 1.0 is also > embedable in Geronimo or is it a goal for OpenEJB 2.0 release amongst > other things like EJB 2.1 compliancy. Geronimo support is a 2.0 thing. Our 1.0 is the exact same stuff as we were working on prior to Geronimo, only it's all been mavenized. -David
