• Adding JARs to the Geronimo repository — The server keeps common Java libraries in a repository using the same directory structure and naming conventions prompted by the Apache Maven project. If your Java EE asset depends on a library that is not already in the repository, you can update the repository to include the new library from console or using deployer command, and define the dependency in your Java EE asset's deployment plan.
• Configuring datasource — Database pools provide a mechanism for applications to access databases hosted on database managers without having to include the physical implementation details of the database in the application code. The database pools also relieve the application from managing things such as connection pools and timeouts.
