I'd like to suggest you take a look at the Apache OpenEJB plugin for Tomcat (http://openejb.apache.org/tomcat.html). Basically, you drop the openejb.war into Tomcat and you get a JEE compatible Tomcat. OpenEJB also has support for Collapsed EAR deployment (http://openejb.apache.org/collapsed-ear.html ) which vastly simplifies the development and deployment of EJBs, persistence units and web-services (this will be most likely make it into the next EJB spec).

If you decide take a look and run into any problems, hit us up on the OpenEJB mailing list (http://openejb.apache.org/mailing-lists.html).

Hi all,
I’m fairly new to J2EE in general, so please forgive my naïve question. I would like to take a simple hello world type JSP and Servlet project running via WTP 2.0.2 on Europa. Running on Apache Tomcat Server it runs fine. But then, after stopping Tomcat, when I try to right-click on project and “Run as…”, “Run on Server” and choose Geronimo 2.1 then no browser window will open and no page is showed. I can however manually start the Geronimo server in the Servers pane, and navigate to localhost:8080 and see that the server is running.

I noticed this fairly recent post, which seems very similar to my problem.

Thanks,
