The Apache Geronimo team is proud to announce the availability of Geronimo<= br>Version 1.0 for immediate download.  Please visit

The release has passed all J2EE 1.4 Certification Tests. =  In addition, many
thanks to our community and volunteers that have= tested Geronimo on many
operating systems including Linux, Windows, Mac= OS and zLinux as well as many
hardware platforms.

Apache Geronimo 1.0 introduces complete J2EE= 1.4 certification, support for Java
Business Integration (JBI), Jetty o= r Tomcat Web container deployment options, a
complete Web-enabled manage= ment console based on Java Portlets, full integration
with the Eclipse Web Tools Project, and integration of Apache Derby and= the
Apache Directory Server.

Included in this e-mail are relevan= t sections from the RELEASE-NOTES which can
be found in the distribution= s that are available for download.  For up to the
minute Release Notes and information you can check the Geronimo home pa= ge at

System Requirements
-------------------
You need a plat= form that supports the Sun JDK 1.4.2.  CORBA
support requires a Sun Java 1.4.2 VM (specifically 1.4.2_08
or a higher = 1.4.2_* release).

Most testing has been done on Linux, Mac OS X, and= Windows.


Installing & Starting Geronimo
----------------= --------------
To install, simply unpack the .zip (Windows) or tar.gz (Unix) file
c= ontaining Geronimo.

Documentation is included in the docs directory = in your unpacked server.

If you wish to modify the default ports tha= t
Geronimo will use, edit the file var/config/config.xml in your
Geron= imo directory.

Geronimo comes with batch and script files to control= server start
and stop functions.  To see usage examples simpl= y type=20 geronimo.bat
or geronimo.sh command as appropriate for your platform.&nb= sp; It is
necessary to set JAVA_HOME to the copy of your Sun 1.4.2 = JDK/JRE
prior to executing the command.  Here is an example:
export JAVA_HOME=3D/directory_to_the_JRE/
bin/geronimo.sh

The command will display help text instructing y= ou as to how to start
and stop the Geronimo server.

If you prefer= to start the server without a script file you can simply type:

java -jar bin/server.jar

Once the server has started, you can access= the administration console
at http://localhost:8080/console/ . The default user name is "syste= m" and
the default password is "manager".


Administration = Console Security Configuration
-----------------------------------------= ----
The default administration user/password for the admin console and
deployment is system/manager.  To change this edit the
var= /security/users.properties and var/security/groups.properties
files.

Future Road Map at a Glance
---------------------------
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO?
   &nb= sp;   report=3Dcom.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project:roadmap-p= anel

   (the above URL must be all on one line)

Late Release News (not in RELEASE-NOTES-1.0.txt in build)
---------------------------------------------------------
= Just as the Geronimo Release was being prepared a report was made about apotential security issue when using the Jetty Web Conatiner.  T= he issue was noted
on Jetty 5.1.9 which used by geronimo 1.0, which allows a crafted URL t= o access the
contents of a WEB-INF directory if the server is running on= a Windows platform.
This issue is fixed in Jetty 5.1.10 and will be pro= vided in Geronimo=20 1.0.1 which
will
be available in the near future.


Signific= ant Changes Since the M5 Release
---------------------------------------= -
  * the ConfigID format has been updated in anticipatation o= f future
    enhancements.  Application plans that= include configIds of
    configurations included in= Geronimo M5 and earlier will require
    modificati= ons.  See the Wiki at http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo
    for more information.
  * More= functionality and new look and feel for the Administrative
  =   Console (http://loca= lhost:8080/console/)
  * Added HTTP session clustering to = the Tomcat configuration
    included with Geronimo
  * Hot Dep= loy by copying your deployment artifact to the deploy/
   = ; directory
  * Ability to run the deploy tool from a mac= hine other than the
    application server (remote d= eployment)
  * Packages that represented experimental, pre-release or ob= solete
    versions were removed.
  * C= lustering
    - Tomcat support for clustering is ava= ilable in this release.
    - WADI has been included= as a technology preview for both Jetty
      and Tomcat.  See http://wadi.codehaus.org for additional      information.


Choice of Web= container
-----------------------
Two versions of the Geronimo binar= y are available for download.
There is a version for the Jetty Web container and a version for
the= Tomcat Web container.  Both distributions are fully supportedby the Geronimo team.  Please download the binary appropriate fo= r
your installation.


Configuration
-------------
Most configuration attributes= can be updated in the
geronimo/var/config/config.xml file.  T= he attributes most likely
to be changed are already included in the supp= lied config.xml file,
while others may need to be added manually.


Overall Pr= oject Status
----------------------
The current version release of 1.= 0 represents a significant step
for the Geronimo  project.&nbs= p; After a little over two years of effort
this distribution is a fully compliant and usable J2EE container
sui= table for everything from development to Enterprise deployments.

The= next version of Geronimo is focused on several areas, including:

  * continue to enhance the performance and usability of the serv= er
  * improve cross-platform compatibility
  * i= mprove integration with third-party development tools and
  &n= bsp; server products

User feedback is critical for future relea= sed to be successful!
The Geronimo team is anxious to gather feedback to ensure we are
mee= ting the needs and expectations of the user community.

In addition t= o the goals mentioned above, several specific changes
are currently bein= g considered:

  * Make the Geronimo kernel pluggable, to help ease inte= gration of
    external components.
  *= Enhance the ability to assemble customized servers (including only
&nbs= p;   the services required by the applications to be run).
  * Enhance configuration, administration and management tool= s
  * Improve clustering support for web containers and ejbs
For more information on specific bugs or features, or to help withtesting efforts, please visit JIRA, our bug/issue tracking system, at
http://issues= .apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO


Certification Status
---= -----------------
Geronimo 1.0 has passed the J2EE(tm) certification tes= t suite.  We
will be filing the appropriate certification paperwork with Sun for
= official J2EE certification.


Significant Missing Features
---= -------------------------
  * J2EE Application Client that wor= ks from a machine other than the
    server
  * Full JSR-88 support for= DConfig Beans (the current features are
    somewha= t incomplete)
  * Offline deployment and assembly tools (expec= ted shortly)
  * Installer program (expected shortly)


Known Issues
------------
  * ActiveMQ (our JMS= implementation) is not shut down in the right
    w= ay and thus tends to generate exceptions to the console during
 &nb= sp;  the shutdown process.  This does not cause any act= ual problems
    as far as we know, but it sure doesn't look nic= e.
