Apache TomEE 1.0 Released

Probably this is what we are looking for ..........

Like Naresh said, this is something Java developers have desired probably for over 10 years. The Apache Foundation and the TomEE team should be congratulated for this accomplishment. An accomplishment that will go down as one of the best project integrations in OSS history.

Congratulations to TomEE.

For EJB 's I would probably use Jboss or glassfish as they are very stable.

What does tomcatEE provide that jboss/glassfish does not?

The EJB support in TomEE is OpenEJB which is also used by Geronimo and WebSphere CE. It's very mature.

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.

I've been using Resin off and on for over 10 years. Resin predates Tomcat, and had Java EE Web profile support one year ago.
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."

I hope this will further promotes the use of Java EE 6, and standard Java Dependency Injection. CDI (Java Dependency Injection) and EJB light work well, and you can use them without shipping a 20MB war file. You can even easily do method interception (AOP style) with Java Dependency Injection.

Thanks for the congratulations, all!

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.

Congratulations and welcome to the fold!

Congratulations to TomEE team.

Most of the time we build the server Stack with Tomcat as base. Now this is a great step and I'm sure this will definitely gain popularity. This will enable to build strong JEE compliant private cloud infrastructure.
