Correct. Geronimo 2.2 includes Tomcat 6.0.x.

You don't connect it to an existing Tomcat installation. Tomcat (or =

No. Geronimo could replace Tomcat. Tomcat implements the Servlet/JSP =
specification. Geronimo can provide full Java EE 5 functionality =
(Servlet/JSP, JSF, JPA, EJB, JMS, etc). Geronimo is component-based and =
the functionality provided by a Geronimo server is flexible. We provide =
a full Java EE server and a minimal (web container plus a bit more) =
server assembly. You can also create a server assembly with just the =
features you require. For instance, I know somebody running Geronimo =
with OpenEJB and ActiveMQ, but without a web container.

Fairly soon, we hope. I'm guessing 2-3 months.
