Re: Is Geronimo still actively maintained?

[Kevan Miller]

Hi Peter,
There is no current development or maintenance of the Geronimo server (none
that I know of, anyway). There has been some interest expressed, but that
has not (yet?) translated into anything concrete.

There is a recent/ongoing discussion on the d...@geronimo.apache.org mailing
list on this general topic: http://www.mail-archive.com/dev%40geronimo.
apache.org/msg94308.html

There is ongoing development / maintenance of Geronimo subprojects (xbean,
java ee specs, javamail, transaction manager, etc.)

Re: java.net.UnknownHostException during geronimo startup

[Kevan Miller]

Your old hostname is embedded in your original geronimo server. So, the
server is trying to resolve "stisitabctmp" during startup. I don't recall
how you can reconfigure your server with the new hostname. You could try to
configure 'stisitabctmp' to be the same as 'stisitcds' in your network
config on 'stisitcds'. Yes, it's a hack...

Re: Geronimo 4.0 - JEE7

I haven't seen much interest expressed for building a Java EE 7

[ANNOUNCE] Jarek Gawor has been appointed as the the PMC Chair of the Geronimo Project

[Kevan Miller]

All,
Due to recent changes in my life, I've had less and less time to devote to the 
Geronimo project. Last month, I told the PMC that I wished to step down from my 
PMC Chair duties. 

The Geronimo PMC unanimously nominated Jarek Gawor to become the PMC Chair. I'm 
happy to announce that at this month's board meeting, the ASF Board appointed 
Jarek the new PMC Chair of the Geronimo project. 

As anyone following the Geronimo project should know, Jarek has been bringing a 
tremendous amount to the project in multiple ways. Please take a moment to 
thank Jarek for taking on this new role.

Finally, to all the PMC members, committers, contributors, and users -- thanks 
for making my job as PMC chair so easy and enjoyable. It's been a pleasure 
working with you.

Re: Release plan for Geronimo 3 + Jetty assembly

 Hi,
 Recently noticed some chatter around Geronimo 3.0.1.  Was wondering if a
 Jetty assembly would be part of the release?  Or, if not, what plans there
 might about around a Jetty assembly in the future?

There would be a some amount of effort required to get a Jetty-based server to 
pass the TCK. There hasn't been any recent activity from the committer 
community to work on the TCK for Jetty-based servers. Beyond the TCK, would be 
the question of if there's sufficient interest in the committer community to 
support (i.e. fix problems) for Jetty-based servers.

So, at this point, I don't think that a Jetty assembly will be released any 
time soon. That said, if there are people interested in helping with this 
effort -- they'd be most welcome…

I haven't tried to build the Jetty assemblies, for a while. Have you tried

I think of the Play Framework as fundamentally a Web Framework (e.g. JSF,

(I'm not sure if that's what Play calls it). You can also create a Play 
application, generate a .war file, and deploy the .war file on Geronimo.

 geronimo 1.0 so an update there would not help.
  
 So far I've checked the mailing lists, forums, issue tracker and subversion 
 with no luck. Please share any pointers on:
  
 * Whether the other versions of jta 1.0.1B_spec are exactly the same so I 
 could use say 1.1.1 instead of 1.0.1?
 * Where the sources of geronimo-jta-1.0.1B_spec-1.0.1 can be found
  
 I'm guessing as the jta is a specification it would be possible to just 
 replace this dependency with a compatible, but I'd rather first just find out 
 if the sources can be found.

Hi Marrti,
You had me digging a little bit. 

geronimo-jta-1.0.1B_spec-1.0.1 was released as part of specs-1.1. You'll find 
the source here:

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/specs/tags/1_1/geronimo-spec-jta/

Our specs versioning process was a mess at the time. The version number of the 
JTA spec release is contained within the root pom.xml here:

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/specs/tags/1_1/pom.xml

At the time, we voted on all specs at once, but each individual spec could have

 not showing the url, I am getting this below error:
 
 Not Found
 
 The requested URL /sample was not found on this server.
 
 I think if i am able to access the console from other machine means i should 
 also view or access the sample application which i deployed right?

No. Suggest you read up on mod_proxy configuration. Consult httpd documentation 
for that… You may want to evaluate why you want to use httpd/mod_proxy. What 
are you trying to accomplish?

That sample config shows how to proxy the /console application. If you want to 
proxy an additional application, you'd need to add appropriate httpd 
configuration for that… You could proxy the whole server, something like:

ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/  
ProxyPassreverse / http://localhost:8080/

But that begs the whole question of why you want to use httpd/mod_proxy at all…

You'll want a Java 5 runtime. All of 2.0 testing and TCK were on Java 5. You 
may be able to do some things with 1.4, but you'll eventually run into problems.

See

 Please suggest me the steps to complete this task. I need this in an

One general point -- Geronimo 2.0.1 is pretty old. If you you need a Java EE 5 
server, I'd suggest Geronimo 2.1.8 (or 2.2.1).

What version of Java are you running?

You are almost certainly getting this error because you are running a version 
of Java which is older than the version of Java which was used to compile some 
of your classes. It's really a bit more complex than this. The javac parameters 
-source and -target control what JVM class file format will be generated by 
javac (e.g. Java 6 compiler can generate Java 5 class files, but not vice 
versa). 

In your case, I'd say for example you are running Java 1.5 and some of your 
classes were compiled for Java 6. Each class has a Java version identifier. 
When your Java 1.5 JVM loads a Java 6 class, the 1.5 JVM detects that the Java 
6 class version number is not supported and throws this exception…

I'd assume your attempting to run classes (e.g. from your jdbc driver) that are 
not compatible with the version of java you're using to run geronimo. You 
either need to recompile your classes or move to a newer version of java.

 You requested http://www.locahost.com/console
 You probably intended http://localhost/console
 
 Confused? This means either you mistyped, or whoever wrote/configured the

 (and don't blame me.) Apparently I have to spell it out: L O C A  host. See? 
 No 'L', so your browser kindly appended .com, and you ended up here, instead 
 of http://localhost/ which you presumably intended.
 
 Note: This is not localhost.com either. Check again. Again. See? No 'L'.

Well, seems to be spelled out pretty clearly… Somewhere, you've specified 
'locahost' instead of 'localhost'.  BTW (seems worth noting) -- I assume you're 
running the web browser on the same host that you're running geronimo/httpd…

Check the ProxyPass configurations in httpd.conf. Make sure you didn't type 
'locahost' by mistake. That probably doesn't explain your behavior (could 
probably reason it out, but really don't care…)

So, in your web browser, make sure you are asking for 'http://localhost/' and 
not 'http://locahost/'

 Currently, the release cycle for Geronimo is about an year or even longer,

 I also feel that project is not very alive. Most alive open source 
 application server project is Glassfish. but it has significant number of 
 bugs. I already tried 2 times to deploy it in production - once for glassfish 
 V2.0 and second few years later with glassfish 3.1.1 and had to step back.
 
 I currently use JBoss 7.1.1. Documentation for AS 7 is bad probably even 
 worse then Geronimo docs, official forums are not much alive, posts has  100 
 reads. Fighting with classloading issues in JBoss is challenging as well in 
 geronimo, i was unable to solve some classloading issues as well - had to 
 build own J2EE minimal stack and deploy it into Jetty 7. But i was more 
 successful in fighting these problems in jboss then in Geronimo.
 
 As i understand open source community in general do not like J2EE concept and 
 tends to use simpler solutions like tomcat, which means that OS J2EE app 
 servers are not on community radar with exception of Glassfish - which is 
 popular because its offered as J2EE download from oracle site.

Note that there was a fair amount of discussion on the dev list on this same 
subject. There's been a lot of focus by the community on a 3.0 release (and 
others). Which I expect will be soon. As always, anyone who is interested in 
helping with releases (e.g. 2.2.x) is welcome to lend a hand…

 Never mind. Please apologies for bothering you so much. And apologies

 I would characterize both periods as 'open source' periods. At all
 times, the Apache Geronimo PMC has been responsible for the management
 of the Geronimo project. Not Gluecode, not IBM, nor any other company.
 
 Thank you greatly for correcting me. Sorry, I took Geronimo in a wrong
 way and now I realized that I hadn't learned it thoroughly when i heard
 it together with WAS CE(i mean the community edition of application
 server of IBM) on one of my school courses at the end of 2006. But i
 still can't tell the difference between WAS CE and Geronimo, is WAS CE a
 IBM version of Apache Geronimo? I am just curious about the relationship
 of the two…

Right. Apache Geronimo is a product of the Apache Software Foundation. WAS 
Community Edition is a product of IBM. WAS Community Edition is a 
redistribution of Apache Geronimo. There are some minor differences, between 
the two. But from a functional perspective they can be considered the same...

 
 Gluecode was a company providing support for Geronimo. In 2005, IBM
 acquired Gluecode. In both periods there were commercial interests in
 the Geronimo project. There are commercial interests in most open
 source projects. 
 
 I'm not sure whether this question is proper: What does the commercial
 interests mean? Does it refer to the company's business model, for
 example, sth. like IBM's strategy on open source application server,
 e.g. in my imagination, IBM wanted to support Geronimo for its WAS CE or
 Websphere?

Ah, English with our overloaded terms. :) By commercial interests I'm using 
commercial with the following meaning: intended to make a profit. So, by 
commercial interests I mean that there are companies (or people) who are 
attempting to make money by their participation in / contributions to the open 
source project. Either via consulting/services, providing support, or other 
means (direct or indirect).

 
 Organizations like the Apache Software Foundation
 take steps to insulate their projects from these commercial interests.
 
 What does insulate their projects from these commercial interests
 refer to? I am very curious why to insulate, after all, it is quite
 common in nowadays' open source projects with commercial sponsorship or
 other kinds of involvement. Would those commercial interests lay burden
 on OSS projects which would prefer to more free rapid technical
 innovation? 

First, I'd refer you to some documentation about the ASF:

http://www.apache.org/foundation/
http://www.apache.org/foundation/bylaws.html

And perhaps most importantly:

http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html

The ASF is a meritocracy. You can't buy your way into a project. You have to 
earn your way into the project, by contributing to the project -- creating 
documentation, answering user questions, creating bug fixes, creating new 
software features, etc. Once you've earned your merit, you'll become a project 
committer and eventually a PMC member.

The PMC of a project manages the project. PMC members are expected to manage 
the project as individuals, not as a representative of their employer. This 
doesn't mean that a company doesn't have influence on a project. They certainly 
do. However, the PMC is expected to insure that the community is operating in 
an open manner, to help resolve any disputes that may arise (e.g. I want to 
implement feature 'Foo', but you want to implement feature 'Bar' and we can't 
reach agreement -- the PMC is expected to help mediate our disagreement). If 
the PMC fails to perform our job, the ASF Board can (and will) disband the PMC 
(and ultimately could stop development on the project all together).

Not all open source software projects are structured this way. Some are more 
open than others. IMO, the ASF is as open as they come. I haven't looked at the 
Contributor License Agreement (CLA) for JBoss. Nor have I looked at the by-laws 
for how their community policies. However, I expect that any contributions you 
make to jboss.org become the property of RedHat. If you are an independent 
contributor to a JBoss project as an independent contributor, I would not 
expect that my ability to influence the project would be equal to a RedHat 
employee.

 Geronimo seems to go through two periods since is was born in 2003

 1) It seems that Geronimo gets less external developers after IBM's
 support -- I identified external developers through the committer list on 
 Apache website
 (committers not from IBM are regarded as external developers. See
 http://people.apache.org/committers-by-project.html#geronimo).
 Is that because a new protocol requires a long process to get commit
 privilege?

There was no new protocol for obtaining commit privileges.

There was a period of time where the project was following a
Review-Then-Commit (RTC) policy, rather than a Commit-Then-Review
(CTR). This may have have resulted in slower development (and thus
indirectly impacted new committers joining the project).

A number of factors may impact participation in an open source
project. Release schedules, news articles, etc -- all can lead to
increased participation by a community (e.g. I would expect more bug
reports to be generated after a major release, and then taper off over
the lifetime of the major release).

 Or, people just simply didn't like any commercial companies
 getting involved therefore ran away? E.g, Similar case in JBoss: There had 
 been rumors
 swirling about various people leaving JBoss after its acquisition by Red
 Hat, including Marc Fleury. (See
 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=43410)

 I also observed that JBoss showed the similar phenomena after RedHat stepped
 in. I suppose commercial involvement might hurt people in open source to
 some extent, I wonder what it is.

The RedHat acquisition of JBoss is quite different, IMO. Personally, I
would not equate an ASF project with an open source project like
JBoss, which is essentially controlled by a company (JBoss and then
RedHat).

The departure of employees following an acquisition is not unusual.
JBoss was commercial. RedHat is commercial. RedHat is also
larger. I expect there were a number of reasons why JBoss employees
might have left: cultural, philosophical, and economic.


 2) However, I found Geronimo developers stay shorter after IBM supported it.
 I am very curious about two things:

 (i) Only 2 out of 20 developers left before IBM supporting, why are so
 few developers leave and so many developers stick to this Open Source
 project at that time? Did those developers come from the same company or
 work in the same location?

I don't know what you mean by developers leaving (or how you're
measuring this). I wouldn't want to discuss any individuals by name
(or otherwise) on a public mailing list. 2003-2005 is, of course, a
shorter time period than 2005-2010. People become involved in open
source projects for a number of reasons (and also stop participating
for a number of reasons). A company's interest in sponsoring employees
to participate in an open source project could certainly play a role
in this.


 (ii) Whether most of the active contributers were recruited to support
 the community after IBM's support? So IBM would decide who is assigned
 to work on Geronimo and how long they would stay in the project?

Companies may ask their employees to participate in open source
projects. IBM has (and continues to) sponsor participation in the
Geronimo project. Some companies may have sponsored participation in
Geronimo, but later decided to allocate their resources to other
projects. Same is true for individuals.


 3) People always say one big advantage of OSS is to have a big amount of
 users reporting issues therefore help improve quality. During 2005 to

Agreed. We'd discussed this previously, IIRC.

 
 What I'd actually like to see is that, instead of arbitrarily importing any 
 particular set of classes, we run bnd on the application classes to determine 
 the Import-Packages needed.

Are you saying you don't want to arbitrarily import spec api classes? Or are 
you suggesting we use BND to dynamically determine Import-Packages for non-spec 
classes? I assume the latter would be filtering (not importing) packages that 
are already included in the application archive?

Automatically importing a default set of spec api classes would be a good first 
step, IMO. And require explicit Import-Packages -- at least initially.

Right. NIghtly builds are convenient for testing purposes, but not something 
that I would use for day to day development...

 GEP needs to be able to do a release whenever Geronimo have had
 a release but also whenever a new Eclipse release is out. If GEP needs an
 upgrade to work with a new release of Eclipse it should be possible to
 release it without having to wait for the next Geronimo release to do so.

There's nothing that prohibits GEP releases to Geronimo releases. There is a 
problem releasing GEP that is directly tied to SNAPSHOT Geronimo server 
releases. In this case, Geronimo 3.0 server has been slowing/prevented GEP 3.0 
release. Hopefully, that will be resolved soon with 3.0-beta. 

A GEP 2.2.x release could have been generated, but wasn't where the GEP team 
was focusing. If request had come in earlier, a 2.2.x release might have been

 I am not talking about GEP code. In GEP it might work because it probably 
 comes comes with xsd schemas already included. I am talking about standard 
 XML validation in any XML editor or Eclipse without GEP.
 
 I will describe problem in more detail. If you validate against 
 http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/web-2.0.1, XML downloads XSD from 
 schema location   
 xsi:schemaLocation=http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/web-2.0.1

 so we have got file. Now time to parse it with XML parser. File has includes

 lets look at first import. We are going to import namespace 
 http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/naming-1.2 from URL 
 http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/geronimo-naming-1.2.xsd (schema 
 location is added to current URL) which does not exists on geronimo web

 naming schema exists at different location
 
 ponto:(admin)~fetch http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/naming-1.2
 naming-1.2100% of   52 kB  624 kBps
 ponto:(admin)~
 
 but your schemas refers to xsd import files in same directory like main 
 schema which is good because validation on XSD schemas downloaded localy will 
 work if you dump all schemas into one directory like you do in geronimo 
 distro. To make XML validation work locally you just need to point schema 
 location to your geronimo install directory. something like this:
 
 xsi:schemaLocation=http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/web-2.0.1 
 file:///usr/local/wasce/schema/geronimo-web-2.0.1.xsd
 
 and everything works. But for making validation to work over HTTP you need to 
 upload these XSD files with xsd extension to 
 http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/ as well to 
 http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/ You need to have them several times on web 
 server, once for xs:import with XSD extension and second without extension 
 for xsi:schemalocation.

 There is no useful logging that happens so it appears that the problem is

 This is running on an Ubuntu Linux 10.04.3 64bit machine with 6Gb of physical

 With the exception of the garbage collection flags and the 'dump on error'

 Is it possible for the number of classes in my EAR to cause a problem?
 
 I am pretty much at my wits end - but I have to fix it because it is on my 
 production server and all of my attempts to set up a new system have the same 
 problem.
 
 Thanks in advance for any hints,

Hi Jay,
Doesn't ring any bells, unfortunately.

How does your GC output look? Are you running low on heap/permgen space? And 
thus spending a lot of time GC'ing as the JVM struggles to keep things afloat? 
Or is something allocating a bunch of objects?

I'd try 'kill -3 pid' to see if you can get an idea of what the server is up 
to...

Beyond that, I'd try to post-mortem what has changed. Was there an app update 
that may have triggered this behavior? Network change (that's a stretch). Java 
refresh, etc...

[DISCUSSION] Geronimo 3.0 Release

[Kevan Miller]

All,
Our Tomcat Java EE 6 assembly has been passing all of the relevant Java EE 6 
TCK tests for a while now. IMO, it's time to start discussing release plans. 

I should note that the Jetty assembly is not, currently, passing all tests. 

We have multiple options:

1) Release a Geronimo 3.0 Beta, gain user feedback, and work towards a Geonimo 
3.0 release
2) Release a Geronimo 3.0 release, gain user feedback, and work towards future 
3.0.x releases

1) Release Tomcat, only
2) Release both Tomcat and Jetty, but only announce compliance of appropriate 
platforms

There are a number of SNAPSHOT dependencies. A Beta release may give us a bit 
more flexibility in our handling of the release (e.g. we may locally release 
some of the dependencies).

A full 3.0 release would mean we'll need to work with other projects to insure 
our SNAPSHOT dependencies are released (this will likely take additional time). 

I expect there are other options and other issues to be considered.

Thoughts?

low entropy on linux systems

[Kevan Miller]

From time to time I encounter a problem starting a Geronimo server on a Linux 
system (I've always seen it on Ubuntu -- but the problem could exist on other 
distributions). The server start seems to hang. However, if you're patient, 
which I rarely am, the server will eventually start. If you're inquisitive, and 
dump the stack traces of the java process, you'll see something like:

main prio=10 tid=0x40c0d800 nid=0xa79 runnable [0x7f57a04fb000]

This problem isn't Geronimo specific. But since I see it from time to time, 
thought it would be worth passing along to the community...

The Sun/Oracle-based JVM is attempting to generate a pseudo-random number to be 
used as a seed for an SSL server socket. To generate the pseudo-random number, 
the JVM is reading from the /dev/random device to obtain some random 
information for the seed. The problem is that reads from the /dev/random device 
will block if the system does not have a good source of random events. So, the 
Geronimo server startup is blocked waiting for enough random information to be 
returned from /dev/random. This article may be help understand the basic issue 
-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//dev/random#Linux

 I'm no security expert. And I don't know the potential implications, but the 
simplest way that I've found to avoid the problem is to use the /dev/urandom 
device, instead of /dev/random. Do this by specifying the following java 
property '-Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom'. So, the following should 
work well:

$ GERONIMO_OPTS=-Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom ./geronimo run --long

Note to self -- would be nice to record this on our Wiki somewhere. Anyway, 
hope this is useful...

 And in the geronimo.log and deploy.log does not display any log message. I
 mean all got stuck.
 
 But the UI display the message saying that the server is down.
 
 Steps follow:
 1. Start the database manually
 2. Start the geronimo through the command line
 3. Deploy the application through command line.
 4. Undeploy through command line.
 
 When I tried to delete the application folder from the repository before
 giving the undeploy command the folder cannot be delete. It display the
 message, the resources cannot be delete, it is being used by another
 program. I doubt whether the issue is when geronimo tried to delete the
 folder, same error might have occur.

OK. So, it sounds like the Geronimo server process is still running. It's just 
not responsive...

Can you generate java stacktraces for the server process? On a unix-like 
system, I'd use 'kill -3 process-id'.

 One more observation, there is no issue if the DB service is not started and

Can you run the Geronimo server in the foreground? I.e. Use 'geronimo.bat run' 
and don't run as a windows service? Or obtain the STDOUT (i'm not sure where 
STDOUT is going in your windows service). You need to find some information on 
why the server process is ending...

shared lib classloader XStream Jettison issue

[Kevan Miller]

The following was posted to the Geronimo forum on Nabble, but, AFAICT, never 
made it to a mailing list or moderation. Reposting, now...

See 
http://apache-geronimo.328035.n3.nabble.com/shared-lib-classloader-XStream-Jettison-issue-tt3144897.html
 

 
 Hi, 
I am using Geronimo Little G 2.2.1 and  have a  deployment plan which 
 utilizes the shared lib and it seems to work for the most part. But when my 
 app (a web application) tries to use XStream for serializing JSON (xstream 
 uses Jettison Internally) I get ClassNotFoundException. Please note that all 
 the jars the application uses are from the shared library and it has a copy 
 of XStream and Jettison. 
 
 I can see that the XStream is getting loaded from 
 $GERONIMO_HOME/lib/xstream.jar and is loaded by the system classloader.  In 
 my application deployment plan I have given hidden-classes to exclude 
 XStream and Jettion but its not getting picked up from the shared lib.  The 
 only way I can get the app to work is if I put the Jettison.jar into the JVMs 
 ext directory, it does not work even if I put the jettion.jar into 
 $GERONIMO_HOME/lib where it is loading xstream.jar. 
 
 I am suspecting that since my application uses shared lib , shared lib's 
 classloader gets to load everything first and the policy there probably is to 
 load everything from its parent and is why my application plan's 
 hidden-classes is not working. I tried placing the jar in all spots where 
 one would expect the classes to be picked up (WEB-INF/libs, 
 repository/org/.../jettison.jar, $GERONIMO/lib/endorsed).   
 
 Is there a way I can specify the hidden-classes for the shared lib module? 
 Or am I doing something totally wrong?

Just to confirm -- after undeploy/redeploy, the server process has stopped?

Have a look at var/log/geronimo.log -- any indication (e.g. exceptions) why the

 We have a web page that uses the Dojo toolkit which issues a OPTIONS request
 prior to a GET. The javascript is sending these requests to a Java

 I have overridden the doOptions method in my HTTPServlet subclass but that
 never gets called. Since that failed, I added an override of
 service(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res) and set breakpoints all the
 way down to Http11ConnectionHandler trying to find out where the OPTIONS
 method is being blocked. It seems like it never get in.

Which distribution (Jetty/Tomcat) and version of Geronimo are you using?

What does your web.xml/geronimo-web.xml contain?

 
 I also tried to do some telnet experiments:
 
 telnet localhost 8080
 OPTIONS / HTTP/1.1
 host: localhost
 This gives a good response
 
 telnet localhost 8080
 OPTIONS /demandResponse HTTP/1.1
 Host: localhost:8080
 This returns HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily

What is the redirect address? 

 
 telnet localhost 8080
 GET /demandResponse HTTP/1.1
 Host: localhost:8080
 This returns HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
 
 Copying the URL for the GET request into a browser and sending the request
 results in the correct call to the HTTPServlet.doGet method.
 
 Can anyone explain why this happens and what I need to do to get the
 HTTPServlet.doOptions method called?

Well, your browser is handling the redirect, automatically. Telnet, is not...

 The Apache Software Foundation (ASF)'s Travel Assistance Committee (TAC) is
 now accepting applications for ApacheCon North America 2011, 7-11 November
 in Vancouver BC, Canada.
 
 The TAC is seeking individuals from the Apache community at-large --users,
 developers, educators, students, Committers, and Members-- who would like to
 attend ApacheCon, but need some financial support in order to be able to get
 there. There are limited places available, and all applicants will be scored
 on their individual merit.
 
 Financial assistance is available to cover flights/trains, accommodation and
 entrance fees either in part or in full, depending on circumstances.
 However, the support available for those attending only the BarCamp (7-8
 November) is less than that for those attending the entire event (Conference
 + BarCamp 7-11 November). The Travel Assistance Committee aims to support
 all official ASF events, including cross-project activities; as such, it may
 be prudent for those in Asia and Europe to wait for an event geographically
 closer to them. 
 
 More information can be found at http://www.apache.org/travel/index.html
 including a link to the online application and detailed instructions for
 submitting.
 
 Applications will close on 8 July 2011 at 22:00 BST (UTC/GMT +1).
 
 We wish good luck to all those who will apply, and thank you in advance for
 tweeting, blogging, and otherwise spreading the word.

Hi Chris,
Do you have a simple project that you can share? At a minimum, it seems that 
there is a deployment failure. And we could be doing a (much) better job of 
communicating the problem. May also be a problem in your app layout. Anyway, if

Re: Can my company use Geronimo?

On Jun 19, 2011, at 11:46 PM, Miya Guo wrote:

 Hello every bodies here :)
 
 I am a developer from Asia, now my company want to use Geronimo as
 server part in our new commercial project.
 
 I know the license of Geronimo is Apache License 2.0, which is
 friendly to commercial project.
 But I also notice that in the downloaded folder, there is a file named
 LICENSE, which lists a great amount of sub-licenses for those
 dependent packages used by Geronimo.
 So I am confused and I can't confrim whether our commercial project
 could use Geronimo freely or not.
 (My English is poor so I can not understand the legal terms in those 
 licenses.)
 
 Could anyone here tell me whether our commercial project could use
 Genorimo freely or not?.
 Thanks very much.

Hi
First, please note -- we will not be able to offer you legal advice. I am not a 
lawyer. So, if you are looking for a legal opinion, I urge you to seek 
qualified legal counsel.

Here's information about the legal affairs committee at the ASF -- 
http://www.apache.org/legal/ There is a mailing list (legal-discuss@a.o) for 
discussion of legal matters. You are welcome to ask your questions on this 
list. However, it's likely that you'll find the same answers, there...

Here is an FAQ for license related questions at the ASF -- 
http://www.apache.org/foundation/licence-FAQ.html

For more specific information about AL v2 and 3rd party licenses, see -- 
http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html

It is the Geronimo project's opinion that our software conforms to the Software 
License Criteria established by the ASF. As you note, we do include a number of 
3rd party binary dependencies. We feel that all of these dependencies fall 
under either the Category A classification 
(http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-a) or Category B Weak 
Copyleft classificaiton (see 
http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-b). 

Finally, please note the ASF's policy for trademarks -- 
http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/

 
 Comment:
 Below is some usage scenarios of Geronimo in our commercial project:
 1. Only use binary format, it means we won't modify any source code of
 Genorimo (include dependent packages).
 2. It is used as application server in our commercial project.
 3. This commercial project will be sold as a solution to the customers.


In my non-qualified opinion, I see no problems with the above -- as long as you 
conform to the requirements of the Apache License. I think the following link 
is your best guide -- 
http://www.apache.org/foundation/licence-FAQ.html#WhatDoesItMEAN . Will repeat 
-- I urge you to seek out specific legal advice from qualified individuals.

All that said -- would be very happy to see you *using* and *redistributing* 
our software. Look forward to working with you in the future...

 I am compiling with java version 1.6.0_25
 I am not using the nexus proxy server.
 I have downloaded and installed all maven dependencies which maven itself 
 was
 not able to connect to a repo to download.
 
 Thanks for all the info! One additional question: what version of maven are 
 you using?
 
 The latest automated build worked -- 
 http://ci.apache.org/builders/geronimo-server-trunk/builds/63 -- well, the 
 Testsuite tests had some failures that weren't recorded properly, but can 
 ignore that for now...
 
 Do you have an SDK or a JSE installed? wsgen would only come with an SDK. 
 So, if you only have a JSE, that would explain the failure.
 
 --kevan
 
 Yes, I am running the SE or Standard Edition of Java - the full JDK bundle
 of the J2SE6.
 https://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDEV/building-apache-geronimo.html
 The documentation says You will need a JDK 5.0+ (J2SE 1.5.0+) or compatible 
 JDK
 to build Apache Geronimo. ...
 
 I actually considered that I should be using the Java EE SDK (this what you 
 mean
 right?) but the Geronimo Development documentation did not state that. The 
 docs
 say to use the JDK, and specifically the J2SE.
 So... I have been trying to get G3.0 to compile with only the JDK.


Right. So, I chose my acronyms unwisely. Let me try again. 

You should build with a JAVA SE JDK, not a JRE.  

You don't want/need the Java EE SDK. Sorry for the confusion.

 
 I am using the Java SE 6u26, JDK 1.6.0_25
 I am using the latest version of Maven 2, 2.2.1
 
 I tried one time with Maven 3, but G3.0 did not compile successfully. So I
 reverted to 2.2.1 which is documented to use, on the Wiki.
 https://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDEV/building-apache-geronimo.html
 ...For 3.0, you need [maven] version 2.2.1 or later. ...
 
 I am actually building G3.0 Successfully. And all the test suites seem to be
 successful (no failures yet). Just this one very odd occurrence.

Can you post more of the build output near the failure? I don't have a clear 
picture of where in the build process you're getting this failure.

You might find it easier to create a Jira and attach the failure info to the 
Jira. Up to you...

I'm mostly building with maven 3. I asked about your maven version only to try 
and pin down the source of your failure...

snip

 I can update the wiki page Building Apache Geronimo with the resulting
 configuration I have for G3.0 if I can actually succeed in this.
 This will be a good test case for a novice approach to compiling G3.0 for 
 those
 who would be strictly following the documentation.

That would be great. We're happy to give people write access to our Wiki. We 
do, however, ask that an ICLA be submitted --

 in Vancouver BC, Canada.
 
 The TAC is seeking individuals from the Apache community at-large --users,
 developers, educators, students, Committers, and Members-- who would like to
 attend ApacheCon, but need some financial support in order to be able to get
 there. There are limited places available, and all applicants will be scored
 on their individual merit.
 
 Financial assistance is available to cover flights/trains, accommodation and
 entrance fees either in part or in full, depending on circumstances.
 However, the support available for those attending only the BarCamp (7-8
 November) is less than that for those attending the entire event (Conference
 + BarCamp 7-11 November). The Travel Assistance Committee aims to support
 all official ASF events, including cross-project activities; as such, it may
 be prudent for those in Asia and Europe to wait for an event geographically
 closer to them. 
 
 More information can be found at http://www.apache.org/travel/index.html
 including a link to the online application and detailed instructions for
 submitting.
 
 Applications will close on 8 July 2011 at 22:00 BST (UTC/GMT +1).
 
 We wish good luck to all those who will apply, and thank you in advance for
 tweeting, blogging, and otherwise spreading the word.
 
 Regards,
 The Travel Assistance Committee

 Kevan (or any helpful soul),
 
 I'm encountering a similar error, and would love some assistance if you're
 up for another cup of coffee.

My emailbot's coffee filter just beeped... :)

 
 I'm running Ubuntu Linux 2.6.35.4-rscloud (Rackspace's Ubuntu kernel) on x64
 architecture with 4GB of memory and plenty of storage.
 
 Here are outputs of various commands verifying JAVA:
 
 $ echo $JAVA_HOME: /usr/bin/java
 $ echo $PATH: (includes) /usr/bin/java/bin
 $ which java: /user/bin/java
 $ java -version: java versions 1.6.0_21
 
 After reading this thread, I removed a previous Geronimo directory,
 downloaded v2.2.1 from a different mirror, verified the MD5 checksum, and
 unpacked the verified tarball.
 
 Running
 $sudo ./startup.sh from $GERONIMO_HOME/bin fails.
 
 The first sign of an error in geronimo.log is:
 ERROR [AbstractEncryption] Unable to encrypt
 java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Cannot find any provider supporting
 AES.

This indicates a problem with your JAVA_HOME or JRE_HOME setting.

So, /usr/bin/java is a symbolic link to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.21/?

geronimo.sh (which is invoked by startup.sh) is going to configure 
-Djava.ext.dirs. In your case it should include something like 
'/usr/bin/java/jre/lib/ext'. If that directory doesn't contain 
sunjce_provider.jar (which contains the AES provider), then you're going to see 
that failure.

FYI, I setup a symbolic link and was able to start Geronimo:

$ ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.22/ ~/java-symbolic-link
$ JAVA_HOME=/home/kevan/java-symbolic-link/ ./geronimo.sh run --long

Seems to work ok for me. ps aux | grep server.jar gives me the following:

/home/kevan/java-symbolic-link//jre/bin/java -Xmx256m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m 
-javaagent:/home/kevan/geronimo-tomcat6-javaee5-2.2.1/bin/jpa.jar

 -Djava.io.tmpdir=var/temp -jar 
/home/kevan/geronimo-tomcat6-javaee5-2.2.1/bin/server.jar --long

Have a look at your set up and let us know what your environment looks like.

 I ran:

 Same result, encryption error.

Hmm. Did the error message change? I would have expected a ERROR 
[AbstractEncryption] Unable to decrypt message instead of a 
NoSuchAlgorithmException...


 
 I then downloaded a farm-fresh installation of Geronimo, validated, unpacked, 
 and ran exactly the same command against the new directory.  Success!
 
 I believe the original error confirms the issue previous posters in the 
 thread encountered.  Whether the path to JAVA_HOME was explicitly called out 
 or not, once a bad shell command to run Geronimo was executed, the 
 installation became corrupt, and no amount of pointing to the correct 
 JAVA_HOME path would fix it.
 
 As for my environment, /usr/bin/java is as you guessed, a symbolic link.  It 
 links to /etc/alternatives/java, which in turn, links to the actual 
 JAVA_HOME.  I doubt that link-nesting could cause a problem, but I've been 
 wrong before.

Me too.. Anyway -- great that it's working for you, now.

Re: JMS Port and portOffset

 Hello,
 
 by using the attached plan, I added a new JMS topic, works fine. But now, if 
 I set the portOffset in config-substitutions, I always get an exception when

 port configured (see Exception.txt). Could anyone give me a hint what I will 
 have to modify when using a portOffset?

Hi Flo
Stop your server and edit var/config/config.xml:

At the bottom of this file, replace:

module name=console.jms/top/1.0/rar/

with:

module name=console.jms/top/1.0/rar
  gbean name=top
attribute name=ServerUrltcp://${ServerHostname}:${ActiveMQPort + 
PortOffset}/attribute
  /gbean
/module

and restart your server.

A geronimo plugin can automatically define the default config.xml contents of a 
module. Making this a reproducible process.

See 
repository/org/apache/geronimo/configs/activemq-ra/2.2.1/activemq-ra-2.2.1.car/META-INF/geronimo-plugin.xml
 for an example (adjust version numbers accordingly, if you're using an 
alternate version).

 I interpret that the deploy:new-server-instance command should do the 
 following:
 1. Create a directory foo under geronimo_home.
 2. Copy var to foo
 3. Copy repository to foo
 4. Copy etc to foo
 
 However, under both G2.2 and G3.0-SNAPSHOT this command only does steps 1 and 
 2.
 I have to perform steps 3 and 4 manually.
 
 Shouldn't the deploy:new-server-instance perform all 4 steps?
 
 
 This is not a show stopper, but the deploy:new-server-instance is a nice
 feature to have - if it does all 4 steps.

Under 2.2, the etc and repository were intentionally shared. 

Obviously, there are some issues with 3.0-SNAPSHOT -- and the 
new-server-instance command should be updated. I confess I didn't realize that 
etc and repository had to be unique per server instance, now...

Did you build your server from source? Or did you download a distribution? Can

Good. Though I'd be surprised/worried if there was a bad binary on one of our

Still possible that there is some environment/scenario where the password

What version is this? DeployUtils.println() is attempting to format its output

value. Your line numbers don't match our recent releases. Current code looks 
like:

// some terminals will give a terminal width of zero (e.g. emacs 
shell). 
// in that case, default to a reasonable term width value.
if (endCol == 0) {
endCol = DEFAULT_WIDTH;
}

Your endCol setting is less than zero. Either figure out how to create a 
better output environment or update the println() implementation to avoid this 
problem...

error, but 'java -jar' would not be my recommended technique for running the 
deploy command...

 
 When I do this, I get the following error:
 
 10:59:42,353 ERROR [BaseDeploymentFactory] java.rmi.UnmarshalException:
 Error unmarshaling return; nested exception is: 
java.io.EOFException
 org.apache.geronimo.kernel.InternalKernelException:
 java.rmi.UnmarshalException: Error unmarshaling return; nested exception is: 
java.io.EOFException

snip

 
 At this point, nothing more seems to happen, and the Geronimo server console
 is unresponsive.  When I restart it, the application shows up on the
 Application EARs page as installed, but stopped.  If I try to start it, the
 server crashes again.  The same behavior happens if I attempt to deploy the
 application through the Deploy New page on the console.
 
 Is this a problem with the EAR file itself?  It was created in France and I
 am in the US, so perhaps there is an encoding issue that confuses java when
 looking for EOF?

Well, the server should not be behaving this way. Clearly there's something in 
the ear file which is causing a deployment failure. But even with this problem, 
the server should be a bit more resilient and doing a better job indicating the 
cause of the problem to the deploy command and cleaning up the application on 
the server...

Are there any errors in the server or deployer log files in var/log? I would 
expect something to show up there... if you can post a test ear file that 
illustrates the problem, somebody could look at it for you. I'm guessing you 
can't make the app available, however...

 Hi there,
 
 I would like to update my publishing system and have heard that Geronimo
 2.2 doesn't work with Tomcat 7.0, just with Tomcat 6.x. Is that true?

Correct. Geronimo 2.2 includes Tomcat 6.0.x.

 
 When I just install the Geronimo Framework, how can I connect that with (a
 separate) Tomcat-Installation?

You don't connect it to an existing Tomcat installation. Tomcat (or Jetty) is 
included when you install Geronimo. 

 Do I still need Tomcat when Geronimo is installed? Where is the difference
 between those programs.

No. Geronimo could replace Tomcat. Tomcat implements the Servlet/JSP 
specification. Geronimo can provide full Java EE 5 functionality (Servlet/JSP, 
JSF, JPA, EJB, JMS, etc). Geronimo is component-based and the functionality 
provided by a Geronimo server is flexible. We provide a full Java EE server and 
a minimal (web container plus a bit more) server assembly. You can also create 
a server assembly with just the features you require. For instance, I know 
somebody running Geronimo with OpenEJB and ActiveMQ, but without a web 
container.

 
 And finally, when will Geronimo 3.0 be done?

Fairly soon, we hope. I'm guessing 2-3 months.

Re: Default Servlet mapping within ear deployer

[Kevan Miller]

On Mar 28, 2011, at 8:06 AM, Thomas Neidhart wrote:

 Dear all,
 
 I am having some troubles with the deployment of an ear that contains a
 war with a servlet mapping like that:
 
  servlet-mapping
servlet-namedefault/servlet-name
url-pattern/images/*/url-pattern
  /servlet-mapping
 
 The purpose is to let the default servlet serve everything in the images
 directory, as there is another servlet that serves the rest:
 
  servlet-mapping
servlet-nameapp/servlet-name
url-pattern/*/url-pattern
  /servlet-mapping
 
 While this works pretty well when deploying the war stand-alone, it
 fails when deploying it as part of an ear (excerpt):
 
 org.apache.geronimo.common.DeploymentException: Web app xxx contains a
 servlet mapping that refers to servlet 'default' but no such servlet was
 found! at
 org.apache.geronimo.jetty7.deployment.JettyModuleBuilder.buildServletMappings(JettyModuleBuilder.java:740)
 ...
 
 
 It looks like that in the case of an ear, the default servlet is
 unknown/unset. Am I missing some dependency to a gbean in the
 geronimo-web.xml or geronimo-application.xml? I already tried adding
 geronimo.configs.[jetty|jetty-deployer] without success.
 
 As I could not find anything related to that, my current workaround is
 to define the default servlet myself:
 
  servlet
servlet-namestatic/servlet-name
servlet-classorg.eclipse.jetty.servlet.DefaultServlet/servlet-class
  /servlet
 
 This only works when using jetty of course, and it would be nice to find
 a way to use the default servlet also within an ear.

I don't know our builder code well enough to have a simple answer for you... 

You must be using Geronimo 2.2.x, correct?

It would be interesting to know what happens on a Geronimo 2.2.x Tomcat server 
assembly. Also, have you tried with Geronimo 2.1.x?

What is in your '/usr/local/java//lib/ext' directory? geronimo.sh is going to 
construct that as part of the -Djava.ext.dirs= setting passed to java. I expect 
that the directory does not exist/or does not contain any jars on your Lenny 
system.

What happens if you configure JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.6.0_24? Does 
/usr/local/jdk1.6.0_24/lib/ext exist and contain jar files (e.g. 
sunjce_provider.jar)?

I expect that sorting out your JAVA_HOME setting may well fix your problem. If 
not, then let us know... It looks like to me that we no longer need to be 
configuring -Djava.ext.dirs at all. So, we could do some cleanup of 
geronimo.sh/.bat... You're welcome to create a Jira (and submit a patch, if

Hi Martin,
I expect the problem is being caused because fileupload/io classes are being

Save to a file (e.g. mydeploymentplan.xml) and deploy your application:

./deploy.sh deploy myapp.war mydeploymentplan.xml

If that doesn't fix your problem, create a Jira and attach a test WAR that will

 Hi there,
 
 when will Geronimo 3.0 be done?

We're a few months away. We haven't set a release target, yet. 

 
 When I use Geronimo as an App-Server, do I still need (to install) Tomcat?
 How are all these Apache-Apps are working together? I'm confused!

Geronimo creates server assemblies which embed either Tomcat or Jetty. You 
don't need to install them separately. They are included in the server 
distribution.

 
 So I need Cocoon (as a web development framework) and Tomcat (as a Servlet
 Container) and still Geronimo? For what?

If you need Java EE capabilities, you'd want Geronimo. If you simply need 
JSP/Servlet support, then either Tomcat, Jetty, or Geronimo can be used.

 
 Is Geronimo 2.x with Java EE 5 and Tomcat 7.x with JavaBeans 3.0
 compatible?

Geronimo 2.1.x and 2.2.x both support Java EE 5 (and thus the  Enterprise 
JavaBeans 3.0 specification).
