| |
| Simple EJB 3.0 example application available at: |
| http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GMOxDOC20/Using+some+of+EJB+3.0+functionalities |
| |
| Limitations: |
| - No support for MDBs. |
| - @EJB injection of ejb-refs and ejb-local-refs (Jetty) |
| |
| |
| - Web Services (CXF) |
| Supported: |
| - Deployng a JAX-WS based POJO service that leverages annotations to simplify the creation of the Web service. |
| - Deploying a traditional JAX-RPC based POJO service |
| - @Resource Annotations are fully supported provided they are also defined in the web.xml deployment descriptor |
| - The @Resource WebServiceContext annotation is fully supported. |
| |
| Simple Web Services example available at: http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC20/simple-web-service-with-jax-ws.html |
| |
| Limitations: |
| - No EJB support for Web Services in 2.0-M2 |
| - <service-ref> elements in the deployment descriptor or @WebServiceRef annotations are not processed. |
| - Dynamically generated WSDL returned via ?wsdl request might be missing some information. |
| - Dynamic clients (obtained using the javax.xml.ws.Service API) might not always work. |
| |
| |
| - JSTL 1.2 |
| Applications that use JSTL must add a dependency in their deployment plan to the jstl jar. |
| Specifically: |
| <dep:dependencies> |
| <dep:dependency> |
| <dep:groupId>jstl</dep:groupId> |
| <dep:artifactId>jstl</dep:artifactId> |
| </dep:dependency> |
| </dep:dependencies> |
| Alternatively, the jstl jar can be included in the application's WEB-INF/lib directory. |
| |
| |
| - JSF 1.2 - Not yet supported |
| -JSF applications will deploy and start but will not execute yet. An updated MyFaces package |
| will remedy this in the near future. |
| |
| |
| Installing & Starting Geronimo |
| ------------------------------ |
| To install, simply unpack the .zip (Windows) or tar.gz (Unix) file containing |
| Geronimo. |
| |
| If you wish to modify the default ports that Geronimo will use, edit the file |
| <geronimo_home>/var/config/config.xml |
| |
| Geronimo comes with batch and script files to control server start and stop |
| functions. To see usage examples simply type geronimo.bat or geronimo.sh |
| command as appropriate for your platform. It is necessary to set JAVA_HOME to |
| the copy of your Sun 5 JDK/JRE prior to executing the command. |
| |
| Here is an example to set JAVA_HOME: |
| |
| export JAVA_HOME=<JDK/JRE_home> |
| |
| To see the available command options type: |
| |
| <geronimo_home>/bin/geronimo.sh |
| or |
| <geronimo_home>\bin\geronimo.bat |
| |
| The command will display help text instructing you as to how to start and stop |
| the Geronimo server. |
| |
| If you prefer to start the server without a script file you can simply type: |
| |
| java -jar <geronimo_home>/bin/server.jar |
| |
| Once the server has started, you can access the Geronimo Administration Console |
| at http://localhost:8080/console/ . The default user name is "system" and the |
| default password is "manager". |
| |
| |
| Administration Console Security Configuration |
| --------------------------------------------- |
| The default administration user/password for the Geronimo Administration Console |
| and command line deployment tool is system/manager. You can change these defaults |
| directly from the Geronimo Administration Console by accessing Security -> Console |
| Realm and change the user name and password from the Console Realm Users portlet. |
| |
| As an alternative, you can make the same changes by editing the |
| <geronimo_home>/var/security/users.properties and |
| <geronimo_home>/var/security/groups.properties files. |
| |
| |
| Deploying Applications |
| ---------------------- |
| Geronimo comes with deploy scripts and batch files to deploy J2EE modules or |
| applications. You can use the scripts or simply invoke the executable jar by |
| running the following command (note that you need to start Geronimo first): |
| |
| <geronimo_home>/bin/java -jar deployer.jar deploy my-web-app.war [deploy plan] |
| |
| You will need to use the username "system" and password "manager" unless you |
| customized those as described above. The deployment plan argument is |
| optional -- you can pack a deployment plan into the application module, provide |
| it on the command line, or in some cases omit it entirely. |
| |
| You can also use the "Login" command to avoid entering a user name and password |
| every time you use the deploy tool |
| |
| For more information on the commands and options supported by the deploy tool, |
| run from within the Geronimo directory <geronimo_home>/bin: |
| |
| java -jar deployer.jar help [command] |
| |
| You can also graphically deploy applications and resources via the Geronimo |
| Administration Console available at http://localhost:8080/console/ |
| |
| |
| Other Deployment Options |
| ------------------------ |
| As an alternative to the command-line deployer, you can copy application |
| modules into the <geronimo_home>/deploy/ directory and the |
| hot deployer service will deploy them automatically. The command-line deployer |
| has some advantages, as it will output any |
| deployment errors to its own console rather than just the server log. |
| |
| Additionally, Geronimo provides a Maven plugin that can deploy applications to |
| Geronimo as part of a Maven build. |
| |
| |
| Configuration |
| ------------- |
| Most configuration attributes can be updated in the |
| <geronimo_home>/var/config/config.xml file. The attributes most likely to be |
| changed are already included in the supplied config.xml file, while others may |
| need to be added manually. |
| |
| |
