Geronimo is composed of a lightweight core (or kernel) and many modules. Each module may include system code (such as a thread pool or web container) or may be an application (such as the management console or a user-deployed application).
...
- All modules in Geronimo, whether system modules or application modules, can be individually started or stopped
- It's possible to disable or remove the modules for features you don't need (perhaps CORBA or the EJB container)
- It's possible to add new features to Geronimo by installing additional modules
- It's easy to distribute modules to other servers or users in the form of Geronimo Plugins
