Greetings...

Unlike other Apache Foundation projects that are practically ubiquitous in
the Java world--think of Ant and Tomcat, for example--the Geronimo Java EE
application server is notable for its infrequent use. In our reader
survey last year, just 4 percent of ONJava readers said they were using
Geronimo. Given Apache's much-admired process and its popular license, it
does seem strange that Geronimo hasn't gained much ground on its
commercial and open source rivals. This week, we're taking a short look at
what Geronimo has going for it.

In "What Is Geronimo," Kunal Jaggi takes a look at what distinguishes
Apache's open source Java EE platform. "Geronimo fills a need that other
application servers do not. With Geronimo, components can be easily
integrated. Its key aim is to support custom builds, geared to the needs
of specific applications. Geronimo offers choices." In the article, Kunal
talks about what makes Geronimo unique, and helps you get started coding,
deploying, and testing your first app on Geronimo.

"The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is the 3rd Generation Partnership
Project's (3GPP) vision for a converged telecommunications architecture
that merges cellular and internet technologies to uniformly deliver voice,
video, and data on a single network. Currently one of the hottest topics
in telecom, IMS is rapidly becoming the architecture of choice for
operators who wish to upgrade their existing cellular and fixed-line
networks." In the dev2dev article "An IMS Application Example Based on
SIP Servlets and VoiceXML," David Burke and Darragh O'Flanagan present a
complete IMS application based on servlets and VoiceXML, which answers
calls on behalf of its owner, then attempts to contact the owner at home,
work, or on the road, and optionally connect the call.

This week's feature article from java.net takes "A Dive Into the Generated
Client Code in Axis2." Author Ajith Ranabahu writes: "Axis2 is a
lightweight SOAP framework that allows faster and efficient SOAP
processing. The new code generator bundled with Axis2 supports the use of
the new asynchronous API and allows the use of multiple data binding
frameworks to be used underneath."
