Very nice. Jeff, where is the database (I'm assuming SystemDatabase) or
is the persistent store something else? I'm curious for sysadmins that
will want to back up their data.

I have integrated the Apache Directory Server into Geronimo. What
that means is Geronimo now comes with an LDAP server.
It is initially "stopped". You can start it with the console or via
the command line scripts (deploy.sh for *nix or deploy.bat for Windows):
deploy.sh --user system --password manager start
org/apache/geronimo/Directory
It initially runs on port 1389, not the standard 389 because *nix
boxes will need to run as root to use this port. The port is
configurable in the DirectoryGBean found in the
directory-server-plan.xml.
It has an initial ou=system schema to start with and we can build on a
fairly sophisticated schema in time.
This has some awesome implications for Geronimo in that we can begin
storing all sorts of configurations and system based information in
it. There is a tremendous amount we can do with this, including
leveraging new security implementations, especially single-signon.
This is the first cut, and I have included a slew of attributes that
can be set on the GBean. Of course there are more configuration
attributes I can add...so this is only a start.
Let the JIRA issues begin ;-)
