Apache Geronimo is an open source application server developed by the Apache Software Foundation and distributed under the Apache license. Geronimo 2 is currently compatible with the Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) 5.0 specification such as JDBC, RMI, e-mail, JMS, web services, XML, Enterprise JavaBeans, Connectors, servlets, portlets and JavaServer Pages. This allows developers to create enterprise applications that are portable and scalable, and that integrate with legacy technologies. Geronimo 3 is compatible with Java EE 6.0.
IBM has provided considerable support to the project through marketing, code contributions, and the funding of several project committers. In October 2005, IBM announced a free edition of its WebSphere application server named Websphere Application Server Community Edition, which is based on Geronimo. Other commercial supporters include AMD, Chariot Solutions, Simula Labs, and Virtuas.
