JBoss Microcontainer

The Project

The JBoss Microcontainer provides a lightweight container for managing POJOs, their deployment and configuration.
Project goals include:

• Make the JBoss Microcontainer available as a standalone project.
• Embrace JBoss' POJO middleware strategy.
• Enable JBoss services to be easily deployed in the other containers.
• Allow the features to be used in more restrictive environments (e.g. Applets, J2ME, etc.).
• Provide POJO configuration management, support for dependencies, and support for clustering.

For example, JBoss Microcontainer is at the core of the JBoss Embeddable EJB 3.0 container, a unique product that gives you a full lightweight EJB 3.0 / JCA / JTA / JMS environment that is deployable on a servlet container like Tomcat, any Java application, or in an automated testing framework like JUnit or TestNG.
