Man Jonas is a pain too. I guess the best one is still WebSphere Application Developer 5.1 for J2EE development.

Well I got my app to deploy on JBoss. That's all well and good, but it does not allow for replacement of JSP code without having to go through a republish cycle (same with Websphere 6 on RAD) which I think is very annoying.

I decided to try and use JBoss as my J2EE server. Haven't thought of using it for ages, but might as well. I'd rather have Geronimo working, but no luck with it.

I want to have the use of EJBs, I can't find in Spring how to do MDBs.

Seems that I am trying to get blood from stone. I am using JDK 1.5 since I plan to use Tapestry 4.0 and annotations.

For that matter, why the heck are there samples with geronimo's installation file. They shouldn't put in samples with the exception of a simple IVT servlet and JSP.

I thought I just needed geronimo-jetty.xml

Too bad that didn't work either.

Rather than letting Eclipse's WTP handle things I decided to use the update URL http://geronimo.apache.org/devtools and see what I can find.

I found something called installableruntimes and decided to download the Jetty one. Maybe that runtime would work rather than the one I took from the Apache site directly. One note, you have to make sure you select a mirror (don't choose the first or second line).

And the answer is....

(drum roll)

(still drum roll)

(more drum roll)

(even more drum roll)

man startup is slow

(ta-da)

finally

but no dice. Doesn't not bring it up.

So far the ideal J2EE development environment for me is RAD 6.0 with the WTE 5.1 (not 6.0). At least the environment I would be comfortable to tell people to use.
