As a first step in developing these, we might want to create a plugin group that is an embodiment of the web profile using the Java EE 5 components currently in Geronimo.  This will give use a platform for experimenting with how to configure the server for the smaller footprint and how to allow additional services to be added to the mimimal profile configuration.  Also, as Java EE 6 compatible implementations become available, we can create additional plugins that allow the newer versions to be swapped in to the configurations. 

Additional Component Details

The current known state for each of these components in Geronimo is detailed here.  Feel free to update this information as new details emerge.

The openwebbeans project is working on implementing this component and is already working with the Geronimo and OpenEJB communties to work on the integration issues.  There should be a feature complete beta available in February 2010 and it appears the target is for a TCK complete implementation to be available in April. This item will also require a significant amount of Geronimo integration work once it is available.

Additional Notes

A potential fallback might be to use the RI version, which has an ASL license.  However, there would still be sigificant integration work required for using this alternate version.  The amount has not be investigated yet, but it is assumed to be similar in extent to the openwebbeans effort + the additonal effort required to research how the integration needs to be accomplished.
