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. --kevan
