Apache Geronimo and the Spring Framework
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Sun 17th Sep 2006 16:29 UTC, submitted by anonymous
Java Apache Geronimo is making news with its latest release, version 1.1. At its core is the Inversion Of Control model, which is also the core pattern for the Spring Framework. The Spring Framework was built on the principle that Java EE should be easier to use. This article provides information about the Spring Framework modules and how they relate to developing Java EE applications on Geronimo.

well, good but when there are already two JEE 5 application servers are available (JBoss and Glassfish) geronimo looks a little old style. Sure maybe Spring makes it looking better but then again why use the app server if you use spring..

Really? Since when does having more EE Sun Certified App Server options a bad thing in the business world, let alone the development world?

Installing (or uninstalling) a web app in Geronimo is really simple, much easier than with JBoss.

IMHO all JEE servers fail big-time on error reporting during app development. Also, documentation.

I think Geronimo is a fine App server and test against both Geronimo and Jboss.... But how is Geronimo easier to deploy on? All you need to do on Jboss is drop the ear/war in the correct deploy directory. It is not exactly a complicated procedure.

Geronimo has heavy financial support from IBM and is part of the Apache foundation. Geronimo is basically guaranteed to be the defacto J2EE standard considering that the Apache Foundation has created: Apache, Tomcat, and Ant.
