The
request is a little ambiguous, but if you're asking whether Geronimo has the
same J2EE APIs as WebSphere does, and you want to know if you can use Geronimo
in place of WebSphere for basic web application serving (especially if you
already know that Tomcat would work as a substitute), then the answer should be
yes. Like WebSphere, Geronimo is a certified J2EE 1.4 application server and as
such has a high probability of working for any J2EE 1.4 conforming applications.
If, on the other hand, you've used some proprietary WebSphere APIs then the port
may be a little more strenuous. Also, Geronimo has a different administration
and deployment model than WebSphere and so you may have to go through some
changes there too. IBM has a distribution of Geronimo that goes under the
WebSphere brand, that you can either use for free or with a support contract.
Even if you don't go that route, there is some information about migration at
the IBM site: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/top-projects/geronimo.html

Subject: Re: Replacement for Websphere
Actually I am looking to replace WebSphere on all the servers. I know that Tomcat can do what is needed, but I was looking for maybe an app with a gui to handle it. I have looked at several others, but have not really tested them yet. WebSphere is actually more than what we need.
But if there is nothing for Geronimo that can handle this then that is cool. I was just wondering and curious. *S*
Thanks

From my understanding what you are looking for is some type of
lightweight deployment management capability from Geronimo to manage WAS
instances. If so, no there is not a module or API to do this.
