Summary


In this chapter, we saw a detailed description of the ActiveMQ message broker configuration in Apache Geronimo. We also went through the different ways in which we can deploy JMS resource adapters and resources in Apache Geronimo. We saw the different scopes in which we can deploy the JMS resources, and the significance of these scopes. We then went through two sample applications with the same functionality, one of which used server-wide resources and the other which used application client-scoped resources. In the next chapter, we will discuss the deployment of Java EE enterprise applications, standalone EJB, and web applications. We will also learn to create Geronimo-specific deployment plans for deploying these applications in Geronimo.
