TomEE - Open source Tomcat Application Server

Several years back, there used to be argument that Tomcat is a servlet container and not an application server as it does not have support for EJBs.

Now there is a new open source product called TomEE which is aimed at certifying for JEE 6 web profile. What this means is that this is Tomcat plus EJB plus JSF plus web services plus dependency injection plus JPA, etc.

This has the complete JEE6 stack configured out of the box and is therefore Tomcat application server or TomEE.

Here's the link - http://tomee.apache.org/apache-tomee.html

It is an Apache project :)

Happy TomEEing
