I searched for while to find the diffs between Geronimo and Apache

supported and what not.
Are Apache+TomCat features a subset of Geronimo's feature set?
Or is the primary advantage speed ?
Does Geronimo support JAX-WS or only Axis?
Hi Peter,
Geronimo is a fully certified Java EE 5 server. Tomcat implements the
Servlet/JSP specifications, which is a subset of the Java EE 5
specification. So, Tomcat is a subset of Geronimo. If we don't
already, we should review the EE 5 technologies on our Wiki site --
e.g. http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC21/documentation.html. Having
network issues, at the moment. So, not sure if it's there already...
Geronimo comes in two configurations -- one embeds Tomcat for JSP/
Servlet functionality, the other embeds Jetty. Performance-wise,
Geronimo will be the same as Tomcat.
Geronimo provides all web services functionality required by the EE 5
specification (including JAX-WS). There's a choice for web services
implementations, also: Axis2 or CXF.
