====================================================== Apache Geronimo v2.0 (August 7, 2007) http://geronimo.apache.org/ ------------------------------------------------------ ______________________ Documentation ====================== This README serves as five minute overview of Geronimo, but better documentation can be found here: - http://geronimo.apache.org/documentation.html ______________________ Release Notes ====================== Please read the RELEASE NOTES for a complete list of features that are available in this release, as well as improvements and bug fixes. ______________________ Installation ====================== If you've downloaded and unpacked a binary distribution of Geronimo, then you are finished with installation. If you wish to modify the default ports that Geronimo will use, edit the file /var/config/config-substitutions.properties ______________________ Starting and Stopping ====================== Geronimo comes with batch and script files to control server start and stop functions. To see usage examples simply type geronimo.bat or geronimo.sh command as appropriate for your platform. It is necessary to set JAVA_HOME to the copy of your Sun 5 JDK/JRE prior to executing the command. To see the available command options type: /bin/geronimo.sh or \bin\geronimo.bat The command will display help text instructing you 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 the following command from directory: java -Djava.endorsed.dirs=lib/endorsed -javaagent:bin/jpa.jar -jar bin/server.jar Once the server has started, you can access the welcome application by pointing your browser to: http://localhost:8080/ To access the Geronimo Administration Console point your browser to: http://localhost:8080/console/ The default user name is "system" and the default password is "manager". ______________________ Deploying ====================== Geronimo comes with deploy scripts and batch files to deploy JEE modules or applications. You can either use the scripts or simply invoke the executable jar by running the following command: /bin/java -jar deployer.jar deploy my-web-app.war [deploy plan] If you use the scripts provided then the command would be as follows: /bin/deploy deploy my-web-app.war [deploy plan] You will need to use the username "system" and password "manager" unless you changed the defaults. The deployment plan argument is optional -- you can pack a deployment plan into the application module, provide it on the command line, or in some cases omit it entirely. For more information on the commands and options supported by the deploy tool, run from within the Geronimo directory /bin: java -jar deployer.jar help [command] As an alternative to the command-line deployer, you can copy application modules into the /deploy/ directory and the hot deployer service will deploy them automatically. The command-line deployer has some advantages, as it will output any deployment errors to its own console rather than just the server log. Additionally you can also graphically deploy applications and resources via the Geronimo Administration Console available at: http://localhost:8080/console/ ______________________ Support ====================== Any problems with this release can be reported to the Geronimo mailing list or Jira issue tracker.

See for more information. The U.S. Government Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), has classified this software as Export Commodity Control Number (ECCN) 5D002.C.1, which includes information security software using or performing cryptographic functions with asymmetric algorithms. The form and manner of this Apache Software Foundation distribution makes it eligible for export under the License Exception ENC Technology Software Unrestricted (TSU) exception (see the BIS Export Administration Regulations, Section 740.13) for both object code and source code. The following provides more details on the included cryptographic software: Software related to cryptographic functionality is located in an artifcact referred to as geronimo-util. The source code for this functionality can be reviewed at: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/server/ The URL above is a reference to the Apache Geronimo Server source tree for all development (and released) source trees.
