If you are in a hurry to have Apache Geronimo up and running right away, this article will provide you with some basic steps for downloading, building (when needed) and run the server in no time.

Apache Geronimo v1.1 is certified on J2EE 1.4 but it works with 1.5 as long as CORBA or daytrader are not used.

...

Select the file compression format compatible with your system (zip, tar, gz) by clicking directly on the link, download it and expand the binary to your hard drive in a new directory. For example in z:/geronimo, from now on this directory will be referenced as <geronimo_home>.

...

Alternatively a script is provided, the startup script will also start the server. Once the server is started you should see the following information on the command line console.

To test the Apache Geronimo server you can just point your Web browser to the following URL to test the Geronimo Console. The Geronimo Console is the first application you can test, and the good thing is, it is already deployed.

...

Create a plain text file in the <app_home> directory named HelloWorld.jsp and copy the content of the following example.

...

...

Although for such a simple application it is not necessary, you will still create a Geronimo deployment plan so you would get a first view of the deployment plans. Create a directory named WEB-INF inside the <app_home> directory.

Create a plain text file in the <app_home>/WEB-INF directory named geronimo-web.xml and copy the content of the following example.

...

...

This version of geronimo-web.xml will not work in Geronimo v1.0

Create a plain text file in the <app_home>/WEB-INF directory named web.xml and copy the content of the following example.
