| Please see http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC22/documentation.html for the |
| latest documentation on this release. |
| |
| |
| System Requirements |
| ------------------- |
| You need a platform that supports the Sun JDK 5.0+ (J2SE 1.5.0+) or greater. |
| |
| Most testing has been done on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. |
| |
| |
| Geronimo 2.2.1 Enhancements |
| ------------------------- |
| |
| Annotation based gbeans |
| - GBean metadata can be specified via annotations rather than static code blocks. |
| In addition, collection-valued annotated constructor arguments support both plain and |
| wildcard generics. |
| |
| Improvements to plugin generation and custom server assemblies |
| - The car-maven-plugin now follows maven transitive dependencies by default. |
| This greatly simplifies including all needed jars and cars into a custom server |
| assembly. |
| |
| Clustering Support |
| - WADI can now be used to support clustering of stateful seesion beans as well |
| as web applications. |
| - As an alternative to the deployment-based clustering support, the set of plugins |
| deployed in a cluster can now be centrally managed. In this |
| scheme, cluster membership is maintained through a multicast heartbeat, and |
| plugin-plugin-list and plugin-list-cluster association is tracked in a database. |
| - Stateless session bean failover support |
| |
| ActiveMQ 5.4.1 |
| - We have upgraded to the latest released ActiveMQ version. The ActiveMQ broker is |
| now configured through the native activemq/xbean/spring native xml. |
| |
| Jetty 7 |
| - Jetty support is upgraded to Jetty 7 from the eclipse foundation. This includes considerable |
| amounts of servlet 3.0 functionality, and JASPIC support. |
| |
| Tomcat |
| - The Tomcat server is now configured through native server.xml configuration files rather than gbeans. |
| |
| JASPIC support (jsr-196) |
| - Both the jetty and tomcat servers include tck-compliant support for the jsr-196 JASPIC specification |
| servlet profile. This enables standards-based integration of authentication protocols such as openId, |
| SPNEGO, and various SSO providers into container-managed authentication. |
| |
| App-independent principal-role mapping |
| - principal-role mapping can be configured independently of an application and used by reference. |
| |
| Improvements to console menu navigation. |
| - The menu tree could be collapsed/expanded |
| - A quick launcher box is added for user to quick access a menu item. |

| Certification Status |
| -------------------- |
| Apache Geronimo v2.2.1 has passed 100% of SUN's Java Enterprise Edition 5.0 |
| Certification Test Suite. See "Distributions" for further details. |
| |
| |
| Distributions |
| ------------- |
| Apache Geronimo v2.2.1 is available in five distributions so you can pick the |
| one that best fits your environment. |
| |
| The available distributions are as follows: |
| |
| Certified distributions: |
| - Apache Geronimo with Tomcat web container, AXIS2 for Web Services and OpenJPA |
| for persistence. |
| - Apache Geronimo with Jetty web container, CXF for Web Services and OpenJPA |
| for persistence. |
| |
| Non-Certified distributions: |
| - Little-G with Tomcat web container, minimal configuration. |
| - Little-G with Jetty web container, minimal configuration. |
| - Geronimo framework, stripped down Geronimo pluggable framework. |
| |
| Note: Non-Certified distributions do not contain a complete JavaEE5 stack and |
| so cannot be certified. Certified distributions can be reconfigured by the |
| user (such as Tomcat web container with CXF for Web Services). |
