Before you install Geronimo, you must install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK). JDK is only required for wsgen tools.

Installing Java SE

Apache Geronimo v2v3.2 is Java EE 5 Certified0-M1 is a non-certified milestone release containing some Java EE 6 features and support for the OSGi programming model. For more information about how to download and install the latest Java SE 6 JRE or JDK of Java SE 5 or Java SE 6, go to http://java.sun.com. here.

Info

It is possible to run Apache Geronimo v2.2 on the IBM 1.5.0/1.6.0 SDK and other implementations of Java that are certified as Java SE 5 or 6 compliant, but Geronimo is not tested or certified on those implementationsGeronimo 3.0-M1 is a milestone release and should only be used for learning about the upcoming Geronimo 3.0 release with Java EE 6 and OSGi/Aries support and not for any type of production usage.

Downloading binary files

You can go to http://geronimo.apache.org/downloads.html to download the available packages (binary files and source code). You must select the installation file according to the platform that you plan to install and run Apache Geronimo on.

Geronimo v2v3.2 0-M1 is available in the following three assembly configurations:

  • Java EE 5 : full Java EE 5 functionalityWeb Container releases : Java EE 6 web profile(not certified)
  • Minimal (Little-G) : Web Container, Transaction, and Connector capabilities
  • Framework : Geronimo kernel core functionality

In this section, we use Java EE 5 assembly configuration with the release with Tomcat Web container for demonstration. For more information about the difference between these three assembly configurations, see Getting and installing Geronimo.

You can download the installation file with the compression format (.zip or .tar.gz) that is compatible with your operating system by clikcing clicking the link on the website. To install Apache Geronimo, extract the binary files to a new directory on your hard disk, for example, zd:/geronimo. In the rest of this section, this directory is referred to as <geronimo_home>.

...

  1. In the command-line interface, go to the <geronimo_home>/bin directory.
  2. Type one of the following commandscommand:
    • ./geronimo run
    • start-server
    • gsh geronimo/start-server

These commands start The command starts the server within the command-line interface instead of in the background. When the server is started, you can see the following information.

To deploy an application, you must create a Geronimo specific deployment plan. To create the deployment plan for the sample application:

  1. Create a directory named WEB-INF in the <app_home> directory.
  2. In the <app_home>/WEB-INF directory, create a plain text file named geronimo-web.xml, and then copy the following code to this file.
    Code Block
    xml
    xml
    borderStylesolid
    titleGeronimo deployment plan geronimo-web.xml
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <web-app xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/web-2.0.1">
        <environment>
            <moduleId>
                <groupId>org.apache.geronimo.samples</groupId>
                <artifactId>HelloWorldApp</artifactId>
                <version>2<version>1.2<0</version>
                <type>war</type>
            </moduleId>             
        </environment>
        <context-root>/hello</context-root>
    </web-app>
    

  3. In the <app_home>/WEB-INF directory, create a plain text file named web.xml, and then copy the following code to this file.
    Code Block

Deploying and testing the application

In this example, we do not invest time in packaging the application. Instead, we use the --inPlace feature of the deployer tool to deploy the application. You can use this feature to deploy an application from any directory.

To deploy the application:

  1. In the command-line interface, go to the <geronimo_home>/bin directory.
  2. Type the following command:
No Format
borderStylesolid

deploy --user system --password manager deploy --inPlace <app_home>

Note: As a quick alternative, the three files in this Hello World sample have been packaged into HelloWorld.war and attached to this page. To deploy it:

  1. Download HelloWorld.war to <war_home> on your system.
  2. Deploy it via
