Mark,
Thanks for the information. Sounds interesting...

I attended a session yesterday at Codemash (http://

anyone running Geronimo on 1.6? Any issues or tips? This is
really powerful mojo!
Somebody had some problems deploying an Axis2-based web services
sample on Geronimo 1.1.1 on 1.6. He reported the sample ran fine on a
1.5 jre. So, there do seem to be some potential for 1.6 issues.
Another user was starting to run Geronimo 1.2-beta or 2.0-M1 on 1.6.
I don't recall hearing any reports back on his progress other than
the server started...
Let us know how things go for you...

The session presenter, Chris Judd (http://www.juddsolutions.com ),
demonstrated an application that took a web page text box of
dynamicly written java code, submitted it to a servlet with
scripting code server side, executed the code within the servlet
container (Yes, you read that right), and returned the results to
the browser. This provides a significant level of introspection
into the container realtime. Of course, he was using Tomcat on 1.6
for the demonstration.
He plans on releasing this code to the public domain in the next
week. I'll update anyone interested when he does. He uses it
primarily to test the container configuration/environment. It even
allows one to see where the Classloader is pulling the library
from! Great for ClassNotFoundException debugging. I plan on
working on any Geronimo specific tuning that might be required once
he releases it.
Additional note for those interested: This was an awesome
conference. Neal Ford did an opening presentation on "Domain
Specific Languages". I didn't really get the difference between
statically typed and dynamically typed languages at first, but I do
now! Bruce Eckel out did Neal Ford with his presentation on "The
World is Dynamic". M$ did the last keynote on its new LINQ
technology. I caught a great presentation of Ruby and Rails. It
sure demonstrated digging the whole to bury Struts in. Scott
Ambler from IBM was also interesting to hear with his views on
database re-factoring and testing, even though his presentation was
on the Eclipse Process Framework and OpenUP. Interestingly Sun was
missing from the presenter side of things although they had a
vendor table presence. Apple was completely absent from the
conference.
Anyway, it proved that Java, .Net, and OpenSource can all get along.
