See "Distributions" for further details. Distributions ------------- Apache Geronimo v2.1.1 is available in five distributions so you can pick the one that better fits your environment. The available distributions are as follows: Certified distributions: - Apache Geronimo with Tomcat web container, AXIS2 for Web Services and OpenJPA for persistence. - Apache Geronimo with Jetty web container, CXF for Web Services and OpenJPA for persistence. Non-Certified distributions: - Little-G with Tomcat web container, minimal configuration. - Little-G with Jetty web container, minimal configuration. - Geronimo framework, stripped down Geronimo pluggable framework. Note: Non-Certified distributions do not contain a complete JavaEE5 stack and so cannot be certified. Certified distributions can be reconfigured by the user (such as Tomcat web container with CXF for Web Services). Supported features ------------------ All programming elements of the Java EE 5.0 Specification are available.
