History

edit

The OpenEJB project was started by Richard Monson-Haefel and David Blevins in 1999 as an open source implementation of the Enterprise JavaBeans specification. Blevins continued to develop OpenEJB and integrate components of this project with Apache Geronimo. In 2003, the OpenEJB component became a project operating under the auspices of the Apache Software Foundation at which time it was rewritten with a focus on leveraging Tomcat as an embedded web container. A beta version of TomEE was released in October 2011, and the first production-ready version was shipped in April 2012.[7]
