| <h1>Introduction</h1> |
| |
| <p> |
| Welcome to Apache Geronimo, the J2EE server project of the Apache |
| Software Foundation. Please help us make this a world class, |
| certified J2EE container! |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The aim of the project is to produce a large and healthy community of J2EE |
| developers tasked with the development of an open-source, certified J2EE |
| server that: |
| </p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| is licensed under the <a href="http://www.apache.org/licenses/">Apache License</a> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| passes Sun's TCK for J2EE 1.4 |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| reuses the best ASF/BSD licensed code available today, |
| with new ASF code to complete the J2EE stack. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h1>Downloads</h1> |
| |
| <p> |
| Currently, the Apache Geronimo has no certified releases. However the |
| following non-certified milestone releases are available. These milestone |
| releases are 'technology demonstrations' and not offered as a J2EE-compatible |
| server. |
| </p> |

| <h1>Background</h1> |
| |
| <p> |
| The Java 2, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) platform is employed widely by |
| organizations implementing enterprise applications. It is commonly used in |
| business-to-consumer and most recently in Web service deployments. |
| Most of the largest business organizations today have deployed applications |
| on a J2EE platform. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| While the J2EE specification is implemented by a number of large and small |
| vendors, there is no open source J2EE container available with a BSD or |
| BSD-derived licence nor is there an open source project today that provides |
| a fully compliant implementation. Verifiable compliance with the J2EE |
| specification is important to business because it ensures that applications |
| deployed by developers are portable and interoperable across J2EE providers. |
| As a result organizations large and small have felt compelled to pay |
| thousands of dollars to commercial vendors in order to deploy applications |
| based on J2EE compliant servers. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The Apache foundation supports several projects that implement pieces of the |
| J2EE platform such as Servlets, JSP via Jakarta's |
| <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/">Apache Tomcat</a>, |
| <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/">Tag Libraries</a>, and |
| <a href="http://ws.apache.org/axis/">Apache Axis</a>, a Web services stack. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The aim of the project is to produce a large and healthy community of J2EE |
| developers tasked with the development of an open source, certified J2EE |
| server, that is ASF licensed and passes Sun's TCK reusing the best ASF/BSD |
| licensed code available today and adding new code to complete the J2EE stack. |
