IBM WebSphere Application Server Community Edition
WebSphere Application Server Community Edition (WASCE) was a free-of-charge, certified Java EE 6 application server for building and managing Java applications. Until September 30, 2016, it was IBM's supported distribution of Apache Geronimo that usee Tomcat for servlet container and Axis 2 for web services. Another difference from Apache Geronimo is that WASCE came with DB2 and Informix database drivers, better XML parser libraries (XML4J and XLXP) and contained the latest patches from unreleased upstream versions. Over 30 WASCE developers[2] were committers in the Apache Geronimo project.
