October 26 - Apache Geronimo

Abstract:

Aaron Mulder, a committer on the Geronimo Project and fresh from speaking at the New Jersey JUG, introduces the open source Apache Geronimo application server from the perspective of a Java EE developer. Do you have experience developing Java EE applications, but no idea how to get started with Geronimo? Or perhaps wonder how to compare Geronimo to JBoss or Tomcat?

We'll cover the Geronimo server's features, installation and management, deployment plan syntax, included tools, debugging options, and more. We'll also look at the logs, the management console, setting up database pools and JMS resources and security realms, how to hook Geronimo up to your build scripts and IDE for deployment and debugging, and how to take advantage of Geronimo Plugins to leverage additional features from scheduling and reporting to Java EE 5.
