This session introduces open source Geronimo from the perspective of a Java EE developer. Do you have experience developing Java EE applications, but no idea how to get started with Geronimo? Or perhaps wondering whether you about the roles of Tomcat and Geronimo? We'll cover the Geronimo server's features, installation and management, deployment plan syntax, included tools, debugging options, and more. Specific development topics include configuring and deploying web applications, database connection pools, security realms, EJBs and CMP, JMS connections and destinations, and web services. We'll also look at the logs, the management console, how to hook Geronimo up to your build scripts and IDE for deployment and debugging, and how to hook Geronimo up to the Apache Web server to handle dynamic content.
