so the core container will be code developed from scratch within geronimo? or will it just an mbean server from mx4j? Not to rant too much on the subject, but Avalon's containers (ie- Phoenix, Merlin and Fortress) are designed to do just this. JMX support exists and there's been some work done on proper JNDI support. You can already run Tomcat, Jetty, OpenJMS and a host of other services within Avalon as it stands now. > > > It seems a shame that we have an "Apache Server Framework" that will > > not be used > > in the "Apache J2EE" implementation, at least at the container level. > > Avalon could be used inside a service.
