Can any Java program be deployed to Geronimo

Question

I'm working in a lab where they typically deploy apps to Geronimo. I have an existing stand-alone server based app written in Java. Can any Java application be hosted in Geronimo? If so, is there a good reference to take an existing app and host it in Geronimo? Is there a benefit to hosting something in Geronimo or are there times when something is best left as a stand-alone app?

Answer 1

When you work on an Application Server, there is specific way a program should be written for it to be qualified for deployment on app server. A program can be a Servlet, EJB, JSP etc. If your existing stand-alone server based app is any of these, then it can surely be deployed on Geronimo.
