What’s wrong with Geronimo startup times…is 12 seconds not fast enough ?

Ah that is really good David! I’ll definitely have a look at this.

BTW do you have plans for “domains/instances”? Any work ahead regarding the Geronimo startup times?

Cheers

You should be very happy with OpenEJB 3.0 (Geronimo 2.x) as we now have some pretty great functionality for allowing you to create the JNDI names exactly as you want them. We’re pretty excited about the feature: http://openejb.apache.org/jndi-names.html This is coming out in the forthcoming OpenEJB 3.0-beta-1 or Geronimo 2.0.2.

We’ve also brought back the OpenEJB/Tomcat integration which even adds full annotation support for Servlets in Tomcat.

Another return in OpenEJB 3.0 is the embedded testing (Container Driven Testing) abilities allowing you to test your ejbs in your unit tests during your build. And in case you’re really at home in GlassFish, we do support their deployment descriptors so you could use OpenEJB for unit testing and still deploy your app into GlassFish.
