This book is an introduction to the Apache Geronimo application server. Currently Geronimo is under active development, and has not yet reached an feature-complete release. Milestone releases are made available periodically, as new features are added and the current version seems relatively stable.
The book covers a mix of current and upcoming features. Each chapter indicates which milestone release it applies to:
This chapter was last updated for the Milestone 4 release.
This chapter was writting using cutting-edge syntax some time after the Milestone 5 release. It is the closest possible to the 1.0 syntax. It should need only minor updates to be accurate for the Geronimo 1.0 release.
To try out features that are not yet available in a milestone release, you'll need to build Geronimo from source (or contact the author for a build).

It is actually possible to run many J2EE applications in Geronimo today. Certainly the latest milestone release is good enough to start "playing around" with the server. However, tools and deployment plan formats are still subject to change. | |
