Welcome to OpenEJB!
OpenEJB is an open source, modular, configurable, and extendable EJB Container
System and EJB Server.
| NOTE | |
We are concurrently developing two versions of OpenEJB and working on Apache Geronimo, which can get a
little confusing for people trying to follow the project. See the new status page for details on what's going on in OpenEJB.

EJB Server
OpenEJB comes with fast, lightweight EJB Servers for both
Local and Remote
access. That's right, deploy your EJBs into the
container system, then just start the
Remote EJB Server from the command line! Or, put OpenEJB in your class
path and use it as an embedded library through
the Local EJB Server.
EJB Container System
As a container system, OpenEJB works like
a big plug-in for middleware servers like Web servers, CORBA servers, and
application servers. By plugging in OpenEJB these servers obtain instant
EJB compliance for hosting Enterprise JavaBeans!

OpenEJB moves to Codehaus
We have recently changed hosting services from SourceForge.net
(sf.net) to Codehaus (codehaus.org). Codehaus is a smaller community
of peers and is able to offer much more trust and control to projects
than sf.net. At Codehaus, we are now able to fully setup and leverage
the openejb.org domain.
