I don’t believe Tomee is a “full JEE” container. As I understand it, it targets the Web Profile. "Apache TomEE, pronounced "Tommy", is an all-Apache stack aimed at Java EE 6 Web Profile certification” https://tomee.apache.org/apache-tomee.html The Web Profile is a subset of the full JEE platform. This contrasts to Apache Geronimo which targets the full JEE stack. > > When I was trying to migrate from Glassfish to tomcat, i found it very > difficult to run my Java EE (JSF) web application via Tomcat 7.

I can’t comment on the fitness of either project, as I don’t use them personally, but my understanding is that they are not competing projects. TomEE, like the JEE Web Profile, is simply a middle ground between Tomcat and Geronimo. Dan > > FYI, I have been using NetBeans 7.2+ to start/stop TomEE via > NetBeans/tomcat7 plugin.
