You kidding me ? Kabooom. Geronimo will rock even more than it does. You guys have no match :-)

Warning though I've not tested it yet - we need an integration test to make sure this works & we handle all the lifecycle methods properly :) Basically we've a GBean for Geronimo so that any existing spring XML config file can be slurped up & turned into beans and managed in a JSR 77/88 way & hot deployed - so Geronimo can hot deploy arbitrary Spring containers within the core J2EE container - all managed in the same stack as web apps, web containers, EJB containers etc. We should also be able to JMX-ifiy all the beans as they are created into the JSR 77/88 management stack. At JavaOne we've discussed maybe having a special naming convention, say putting spring.xml inside META-INF/ or something, so that you can put your code in a regular jar with the XML deployment descriptor then drop it in a directory or whatnot and Geronimo could auo-detect it & use the SpringGBean to deploy it. Its still early days but hopefully once this is sorted out & working, developers can spend their time in development mode just using Spring by itself, then at any point in time drop their jar into Geronimo (or build a deployment binary of Geronimo) and hey presto their apps running inside a J2EE container. Going forward we should be able to further increase the functionality of the SpringGBean to closer integrate the two projects so that the Spring POJOs can take better, more efficient & easier use of the J2EE services in Geronimo (transactions, security, remoting, pooling, clustering etc).
