Geronimo! Part 1: The J2EE 1.4 Engine That Could

Posted by timothy on from the also-a-famous-fellow dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Java-based open source development has come a long way since the early days of developers sharing GUI libraries. Geronimo is a large-scale project attempting to create a certified J2EE 1.4 server based on existing open source components. Take a tour through the Geronimo maze with Sing Li as your guide. Gluecode Software CTO and principal Geronimo contributor Jeremy Boynes shares his perspective on Geronimo and go here to learn how to use the new Eclipse plug-in for Apache Geronimo."

    JOnAS is our there... free, and LGPL'ed and is already J2EE 1.4 certified

    These aren't JVMs, they are application servers. *Very* different things, really.

    Geronimo, JOnAS, and JBoss all work with Sun's classpath. They may also work with the open source Classpath stuff. But these aren't intended as JVM replacements.

    "our inhouse framework uses a single Dispatcher servlet to dispatch actions to the relevant Handler classes. Those classes do more or less processing, but the end result is *always* displayed by a JSP - we *never* use a Java class to output an entire page."

    That's a lot of words to say "We use STRUTS"
