| Geronimo 2.1 Enhancements |
| ------------------------- |
| |
| Custom server assemblies |
| - Lightweight server assemblies may be created that contain only the functional |
| components required by your application(s). |
| |
| Flexible admin console |
| - The admin console is now component-based to mirror the server capabilities. |
| This allows the admin console to provide flexible administrative capabilities |
| that will mirrors the capabilities of a custom server assembly. |
| |
| GShell |
| - GShell is a command-line processing environment that can be used for the execution |
| of Geronimo commands. GShell is an extensible environment and includes support |
| for editing, command history, and tab completion. |
| |
| Clustering Support |
| - WADI can now be used to support clustering of web applications for Geronimo configurations |
| which use the Tomcat Web Container (WADI support for Jetty was in previous releases). |
| - Applications can be deployed to administratively-defined groups of Geronimo servers |
| |
| Monitoring Console Plugin |
| - The monitoring console plugin provides monitoring support in the Geronimo admin console. |
| The monitoring console can gather statistics and performance data from multiple Geronimo |
| servers and graphically display this data to users. |
| |
| Plan Creator (added in Geronimo 2.1.2) |
| - Plan Creator is a new portlet added to administration console to simplify the creation of |
| Geronimo specific deployment plans. Given a web application archive (war), Plan Creator walks |
| the user through a sequence of steps and generates geronimo-web.xml automatically. |
