My Reading List
The Apache Software Foundation has released Apache TomEE 1.0. Apache TomEE, pronounced "Tommy", is a Java EE 6 Web Profile certified all-Apache stack available under the Apache 2.0 license. TomEE is composed of Tomcat (Servlet, JSP, JSTL), OpenWebBeans (CDI), OpenEJB (EJB), OpenJPA (JPA), MyFaces (JSF), Geronimo Transaction (JTA), Geronimo JavaMail (Javamail) and Apache Bean Validation (Bean Validation). There is also TomEE+, a TomEE distribution that adds Apache CXF (JAX-RS, JAX-WS), ActiveMQ (JMS) and Geronimo Connector (Connector). Apache TomEE is a sub-project of Apache OpenEJB and supersedes what is known as the OpenEJB + Tomcat integration. Apache TomEE 1.0 is based on Apache Tomcat 7.0.27, the latest version of Tomcat with WebSocket support.
Apache TomEE 1.0 has improved startup times for large applications over earlier versions. This was achieved through reduced classloading, and enhanced annotation and TLD file scanning. Tuning was focused on large applications like Confluence, Ralio, and Lift, which resulted in 369%, 128% and 166% faster startup times, respectively. Server startup time has also improved. On a modern MacBookPro, startup time should be ~1200ms from the command line or ~700ms from within Eclipse.
Other new features include the ability to pinpoint which classes and JARs should be scanned via the scan.xml file. There is also now a remote adapter for Arquillian. Shipped in a separate zip file is an experimental new feature for provisioning applications using online Maven repositories.
Apache TomEE is assembled from the standard Apache Tomcat distribution. The extra JAR files, configurations files and the TomEE webapp are then added and repackaged. This Tomcat with EE distribution runs without any additional memory requirements and is compatible with existing Tomcat web applications and tools. There is also a more detailed comparison of the Tomcat and TomEE distributions.
For more information, please visit the official Apache TomEE website. To get started, watch the TomEE Getting Started video on YouTube, and then download TomEE 1.0 from Apache website.
Congratulations To the TomEE Team

What does tomcatEE provide that jboss/glassfish does not?
Re: Apache TomEE

If you love Tomcat, TomEE is for you. It is Tomcat. Aside from that TomEE is very light. Several users have reported TomEE being the only option for very small VMs with low memory.
If you have benchmarks setup for any of your existing applications, try one out in TomEE. You might be very surprised.

For EJB 's I would probably use Jboss or glassfish as they are very stable.
What does tomcatEE provide that jboss/glassfish does not?
First of all, congratulations on the TomEE release!
Regarding Glassfish, it provides Web Profile support by leveraging the modular OSGi-based infrastructure that the application server is built on. Thus the TomEE solution is similar in result, but architecturally different.

Caucho Resin, Open Source, Java EE Web Profile certified last 1 year ago
by
Richard Hightower
It get's used by some of the highest traffic sites on the web. It is fast and lightweight.
Caucho Resin ...certified a compliant implementation of the EE 6 Web Profile, starting with version 4.0.17.
Resin according to NetCraft is used on quite a bit of the worlds busiest sites.
"Resin, the web server and Java application server from Caucho Technology, is getting some media attention at the moment, with both Netcraft and Gartner talking about the product. Caucho has been in business for more than 14 years, and has built up a relatively large install base for Resin including Bebo, CNET, Motorola, Salesforce.com and Openwave."
Caucho's Resin Application Server Grew by a Factor of Almost Ten Last Year According to Netcraft.
"The Resin application server has been experiencing strong growth over the past 12 months; seeing an almost tenfold growth from 480k hostnames in February 2011 to 4.7M or 0.77% of the market in February 2012."
"Caucho ... claims for Resin's performance, stating that Quercus, their ... PHP engine, is faster than standard PHP, and that the web server is faster than Apache httpd (and more similar to NginX)".
"Resin's core networking library is written in highly optimized C. Java is the OOP layer that allows Resin to be full featured. C is what allows Resin to be fast. On top of this layer we build our distributed caching, clustering, session replication, servlet engine, etc."
Good job TomEE team! This rocks.

The Apache TomEE mission statement
by
David Blevins
An explicit note to readers just in case there is any misunderstanding. We didn't create TomEE because we thought the existing choices were bad.
We created TomEE because despite the existence of really awesome choices, people are still trying to turn Tomcat into a Java EE server. We want to give people what their actions have been telling us they wanted, Tomcat as a Java EE server.
We want to reach a hand out and help them into Java EE and in doing so, heal a bit of a rift that has persisted for over 10 years now.
We're all about strengthening Java EE by taking one of the most popular stacks and certifying, bringing it and its users into the Java EE space.
