Apache Geronimo comes with a series of components already installed. These components can be customized for your Geronimo installation in particular as there may be functionality you are not interested in or additional features you may want to install.

Use the deploy list-modules command to get a list of the modules in your Geronimo system. The format of the output is generally org.apache.geronimo.configs/module-name/2.0.1/car. In the table below, only module-name is given.

To see module dependencies and hierarchies, see the Debug Views of the Administration Console, particularly the Dependency Viewer and ClassLoader Viewer. Note that in this latter view, you can invert the dependency tree.
