With Tomcat being the RI for the Java 'web' specs, it seems natural that people will be wondering whether Geronimo:
a) Is the J2EE RI. b) Wants to be the J2EE RI. The FAQ should comment on this I think. Equally, the answer to b) does affect how a lot of the design questions are discussed. Will Geronimo seek to toe the J2EE line utterly, or look to add extra features that are not banned by the spec, but a little odd. JBoss' switch to aspects would be one such example. It doesn't break the spec [I imagine] but it is quite a difference to other servers out there. Is Geronimo to be an old plodding shire horse, solid and simple but not flash, or to be a sleek racing horse, fast and complex? :) Hen
