| |
| Known Issues and Limitations |
| ---------------------------- |
| Geronimo @VERSION@ is a milestone release and should only |
| be used for learning about the upcoming Geronimo 3.0 release with Java |
| EE 6 and OSGi/Aries support and not for any type of production usage... |
| |
| In particular, the following limitations need to be noted: |
| - This release does not include support for Web Services. Web Services |
| support is not a required component for the Java EE 6 Web Profile, which is |
| the focus of the Geronimo 3.0 release. |
| - The OpenEJB version used in this milestone is still largely at the EJB 3.0 |
| support level. |
| - The following components required by the Java EE 6 Web Profile are not yet |
| included in this release: |
| - Java Context and Dependency Injection (JSRs 299 and 330). |
| - Bean Validation (JSR 302) |
| - Managed Beans (JSR 318) |
