Pro Apache Geronimo teaches you all about using Apache Geronimo, the open source lightweight J2EE/Java EE 5 web application server. Geronimo's GBeans enable you to deploy sophisticated server-side enterprise Java applications and perform special enterprise-level Java development for transactional support. This book is a must-have because it
- Is the first book to cover Apache Geronimo in such detail
- Features lots of code samples to learn from and apply to your work
- Explores relevant internals
Geronimo is unique in that it's the only open source lightweight deployment tool around. It also has the capabilities for Spring compliance, so you Spring developers can deploy your web applications using Geronimo. Meanwhile, JBoss is the only other significant open source J2EE container out there. Geronimo, now backed by IBM, is incorporated into IBM's WebSphere Community Edition/Package.
Pro Apache Geronimo is a hands-on guide to enterprise Java programming using the Apache Geronimo open source application server. Apart from discussing the Geronimo architecture in great detail, this book uses simple examples to explain Java enterprise concepts such as web applications, Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), message-driven beans, and connectors. Allcode samples from this book are available for download from http://www.apress.com.
This book also details how to package application components as an enterprise application and the process for developing, packaging, and running client applications using the client container. Additionally, I have included some discussion on advanced concepts, such as how Geronimo supports security.
