We will review this and provide any feedback to you. Once approved
by both you guys and the PRC, we will submit it for the wire.
It is not an instantaneous process taking 24-48 hours, and
so doing that in conjunction with when you want the PR
released is some scheduling fun :) For example, you don't
want it to be released at the end of the week.

Apache Geronimo 2.0.1 released by Apache Software Foundation
date/time/location—The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) announced
today the release of Apache Geronimo 2.0.1 (http://
geronimo.apache.org <http://geronimo.apache.org/>). This release
represents the latest open source Java Enterprise Edition 5.0
application server from the Apache Geronimo project, and continues
the evolution of the Apache Geronimo server by adding new features
and capabilities to a fully compliant and certified Java Enterprise
Edition 5.0 container suitable for everything from a development
environment to enterprise-level deployments.
The newly released Apache Geronimo 2.0.1 breaks new ground as the
first open source Application Server to provide two certified JAX-
WS Web Services implementations: Apache Axis2 and Apache CXF. This
capability further highlights the flexibility of Apache Geronimo
which also provides two certified web container implementations:
Apache Tomcat and Jetty.
Geronimo 2.0.1 also introduces new features such as simplified
development, improved diagnostics and flexible assemblies.
Simplified deployment is achieved through the use of standards
based programming model enhancements found in Java Enterprise
Edition 5.0. This includes support for the Enterprise JavaBeans
(EJB3) specification as implemented by the Apache OpenEJB and
Apache OpenJPA projects. Here is a list of some of these
programming enhancements:
- Streamlined development options provided with Java Enterprise
Edition 5.0
- EJB 3.0 persistence (Java Persistence Architecture)
- A programming model that uses annotations to express developer
defaults in the source code
Improved diagnostic capabilities include enhanced logging, class
loader viewer as well as JMX browser which are all available from
the web based console. Change logging levels on the fly as well as
view existing logs with a set of filters. Looking for a class and
wondering where it came from? The class loader viewer let’s you
find them. Want to see or change the attributes for MBeans in the
server? The JMX browser allows you to navigate the MBeans in the
server in a simple tree format without having to hook up external
consoles or third party products. In addition, the Certification
Authority portlet provides a user friendly interface to setup a
Certification Authority, your own Public-Key Infrastructure, and
use server/client Digital Certificates for securing your applications.
Flexible assemblies are realized through the project’s continued
promotion of the ”Little G” 2.0.1 —a lightweight container
offering for projects that don’t need the full feature set of Java
Enterprise Edition 5.0. Perfect for web-service and SOA
deployments, "Little G" brings the modularity, manageability and
extensibility of Apache Geronimo to a lightweight assembly that is
small in footprint but full of capability.
This flexible, user-friendly, and easy-to-configure application
server is built from best-of-breed open source components and is
fully licensed under the Apache Software License, offering multiple
benefits to organizations and their development teams. They can use
Apache Geronimo as-is or, if they so choose, create their own
custom offerings without the restrictions imposed by other open
source licenses. Flexibility and choice, you have both with Apache
Geronimo.
The software can be downloaded for free from the Apache Geronimo
web site ( http://geronimo.apache.org <http://geronimo.apache.org/
>/ ).
