Abstract

This book is an introduction to installing and configuring the Apache Geronimo application server, and then configuring and deploying applications to Geronimo. It is aimed at developers with prior J2EE experience, and basic knowledge of at least one other application server product. While some of the advanced topics cover specialized deployment scenarios, in general, this book is not aimed at system administrators.
