What do you like best about Apache TomEE?

The extensive support it offers while comparing tomcat is the highlight like the technologies(JSR,EJB) it offers which is lacking in tomcat. It can also help us in connecting to the legacy system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache TomEE?

The UI feature is as similar to Tomcat which was in the past. So other than this, i am not able to grasp things that i dislike about apache tomee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache TomEE solving and how is that benefiting you?

Earlier, we were using only Tomcat, but after knowing the purpose of Tomee, we were not limited to use of technology that Tomcat limits us. So in that way, this takes a lead Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache TomEE?

TomEE is so easy to install, very light on the system and still can host enterprise applications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache TomEE?

There are so many versions of TomEE available to download, which was confusing for an implementor like me. I don't think software developers will have this problem though Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache TomEE solving and how is that benefiting you?

We deploy our content management applications on Apache TomEE and it runs perfectly. Several years back we were using an expensive alternative for the same. Now with TomEE, we are saving on our efforts and we can pass on the savings to the customer as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Apache TomEE?

We recently migrated to TomEE container from Glassfish and quickly deployed it into AWS EC2 instance. Apache TomEE is the most suitable application server compatible with Java 1.8+ JVMs. Also easy to configure like tomcat container. Apache TomEE administrator console is very user-friendly and easy to manage deployed applications. Apache TomEE provides good support to server memory management and GC. Very lightweight Application server, and JVM had to allocate significantly less memory allocation for Apache TomEE. Very easy to configure security layers such as SSL with the TomEE server. TomEE enables good plugins to integrate the server with project build tools and IDEs. Easy to run the server on debug mode with IDEs such as IntelliJ and Eclipse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache TomEE?

Need more support with inbuilt libraries to OpenEJB application configurations. Need to improve server loggings. Better if Apache TomEE introduces logging streams or a similar architecture to manage server logs. Better providing more features to detect memory leaks in server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache TomEE:

If you want to deploy an application using Java 1.8+ and EJB/OpenEJB, TomEE is the best application server with more minor configurations to go production. Also, TomEE provides long-term support. Finally, if any user needs to deploy a Java application with EJB support, Apache TomEE is the ideal Application server which possible to deploy with minimal configurations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache TomEE solving and how is that benefiting you?

We moved our production applications from Java 1.6 to 1.8. And we migrated to EJB 3.x to OpenEJB, and also, we had an issue with the Oracle Glassfish server. Therefore, we moved to ApacheTomEE and solved our Cloud deployments on AWS EC2. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache TomEE?

1. The most Attraction for any JavaDeveloper is, of course, its compatible implementation of Web Profile and inclusion of Open-Source Components.

2. The second Feature is its supplementation of support for various Technologies (CDI - Apache OpenWebBeans, EJB - Apache OpenEJB , JPA - Apache OpenJPA, JSF - Apache MyFaces

JSP - Apache Tomcat,JSTL - Apache Tomcat,JTA - Apache Geronimo Transaction,Servlet - Apache Tomcat,Javamail - Apache Geronimo JavaMail,Bean Validation - Apache Val). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache TomEE?

1. Tomcat Interface is Basic, Limited, Simple with limited functionalities.

2.More prone to Crashes, Failures, Memory Leaks when dealing with Complex Application Development.

3. Configurations that are meant to be custom-based have a steep Learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache TomEE:

1)Apache is known for its Lightweight, Scalable, Ease of Use, Easy to install and configuration, and TomEE is on the same line.

2)TomEE's Ease of Deployment and above all Open-Source that makes a Free Source.

3)TomEE bundling with SpringBoot saves the extra deployment efforts, making your single JVM application become the quick web service solution easily

4)Apache TommEE is an effective Web server featuring Connection pool, Thread pool, Https, Mutual and data Source with Rich API sets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache TomEE solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. Deploying an EAR file requires Apache TomEE as Apache Tomcat doesn't support this feature.

2. Spring Boot Applications is easy to be Deployable.

3. The configuration is really made a lot easy to be implemented and thanks to tons of documentation available on the internet.

4. Apache TomEE is really an excellent Java EE Web Profile-certified stack which is built on top of Apache Tomcat base integrated with additional related technologies, built-in security features and provided a rich API sets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache TomEE?

It's small foot print and recent support to Eclipse Microprofile and JakartaEE Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache TomEE?

Not sure if OpenEJB is still required. JMS 2.0 compliance container should have been ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache TomEE:

at the current stage of mircoservices, TomEE is a good competitor among the container provider Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache TomEE solving and how is that benefiting you?

Primarily we have used tomcat as web containers. Slowly with the evolve of JEE, we have started using CDI and JSF and looked for an container option. Being from the same house, TomEE was a good option for us Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache TomEE?

Harness the power of the java language with this quick and easy to deploy tomcat server. It has all the web essentials you'll need to jumpstart your web project from out of the box to the client. Simply start her up, drop a WAR, and she'll see you on port 8080. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache TomEE?

There's very little I don't like about the TomEE server. If I am to deploy a web application I certainly would choose it over a vanilla Tomcat. As a developer, you know that building apps is a lot like Legos, and the same is true for Java itself. So if you want something like native JSON parsing, you'll have to bring in something like Gson as it doesn't come pre-packaged. But, it's easy enough to add the JARs you want, and it's a small price to pay. I mean, it cant come with EVERYTHING out of the box, right? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache TomEE:

There is a constant debate between those who prefer a more JavaScript oriented, front-end approach and others who stick to more straight forward approaches. I would say TomEE is the more straight forward approach, and one should take advantage of the power of jstl, expression language (EL) etc. While JavaScript absolutely must be used for most apps, usually Java and plain HTML/CSS will suffice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache TomEE solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've built custom apps for timeclocks, valuing property, sports programs, and am even working on a full fledged ERP system. I love how easy it is to deploy and test my apps, how everything remains nice and secure behind your hidden WEB-INF folder. You can do anything really, from interfacing with a database, to scheduling runnables to run at certain intervals in a ServletContextListener. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache TomEE?

I use it as a localhost server to run all the applications that we use at work. We basically use it with Java projects. I really like that the server combines that combines several Java enterprise projects including Apache MyFaces. Apache TomEE is a Java EE Web Profile-certified stack which is built on top of an Apache Tomcat base integrated with additional related technologies Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache TomEE?

It's not very fast if you add to the project a lot of web applications. You have to be a little bit advanced to configure it well, it's not very user friendly. And I do not like that you have to stop it and run it again if you change any file of your project. It's a pain in the ass. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache TomEE:

I recomend it to everyone who is thinking to developp web apps with JavaEE. It works very well and it's a very good server. You will not regret it and it's free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache TomEE solving and how is that benefiting you?

In our company we use it to localhost server to run the applications when we do all kind of developement, testing or resolving bugs. Once you have configured it, you do not have to think about it anymore, it runs very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache TomEE?

The user interface can be improved to facilitate the learning of use of the server. If you deploy many applications in the same project, the performance goes down and tends to become slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
