Open Source J2EE 1.4 Application Server

Geronimo is an open source J2EE application server being developed by the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). The Apache Geronimo project began in August 2003, with the goal of creating a fully compliant J2EE 1.4 application server, using other open source Java components as building blocks. In 2004, the ASF promoted the project for "incubator" status to a "top-level" project. The project's primary goal is to create a fully certified J2EE 1.4 application server available under the Apache software license.
