Rimuhosting Supports GlassFish
|
Rimuhosting now Supports GlassFish. Their application came just a bit too late to make it into the formal GlassFish Partner Showcase but they will be added early next week, when we are all back from JavaOne. |
Spring Framework on Update Center for GlassFish v2
|
The Spring Framework (2.5.4) is now available at the GlassFish v2 Update Center (UC@TA). Installation should be straight-forward: after installing GlassFish v2, run the updatecenter via: $GLASSFISH_ROOT/updatecenter/bin/updatetool There are a couple of post-intallation steps to do; check out the details at Pramod's Note and let us know of your experience, positive or negative. |
Note this is the GF v2 update center. And thanks to Rajeshaw to help pushing the module out.
OpenSolaris (and GlassFish and MySQL) on Amazon EC2
|
You may have seen Jonathan's note on OpenSolaris, MySQL and GlassFish being available on Amazon EC2. Details on the OpenSolaris portion are available at the EC2 Blog (Welcome, Launch and New Limits), at Dileep's Blog and at the EC2@Sun and OS@EC2 sites. For MySQL check the MySQL@EC2 site. |
I know that Homer worked on the GlassFish
AIM AMI but it all happened right before
JavaOne and I didn't have time to check more.
He told me he is writing a note on it, and I'll spotlight it when it is ready.
And thanks to Charles for some of the Links.

GlassFish ESB Formally Launched
|
Another GlassFish-related announcement from Sun (PR): the Open ESB collection of projects are being aligned under the GlassFish umbrella. An evolutionary rather than a revolutionary move as pieces of OpenESB were already included in GF v2, but will encourage further synergies between the groups and artifacts. |
Expect bundles of OpenESB components with GF, as well as community and architectural interactions. A good example of the latter is Project Fuji where the ESB components are delivered as OSGi modules running on GlassFish v3.
Check out GlassFish ESB, the earlier TA entry, and Prakah's Introduction to Fuji and GlassFishESB
Sun GlassFish Communications Server - The Commercial Distribution of Sailfin
|
We now have a name for Sun's commercial distribution of Sailfin: Sun GlassFish Communications Server. Sailfin will support SIP Servlet 1.1 and can be used to develop applications using IM, VoIP and shared multimedia. The initial release is expected in the fall of this year and will be aligned with GF v2.1. |
Check the Press Release for more details. Also, Ericsson and Sun are holding a Contest for Sailfin Applications. And previous entries on Sailfin at TheAquarium are here.
GlassFish v2.1 build 32 has been promoted
GlassFish Promoted Build v2.1 build 32 is available.
This promoted build provides necessary infrastructure support for the SailFin Application Server (Telco app server). This release also contains fixes that did not make it into GlassFish V2 Update Release. Please refer to the GlassFish V2.1 Wiki Page for details on improvements that are going into this release.
See the download page for the promoted binary builds, source bundle, and a list of bugs that were fixed in this release.
The weekly promoted builds of GlassFish have passed a minimum level of testing. which includes the quicklook tests, a sub-set of CTS tests (representative collection of 418 J2EE 1.4 tests) and a sub-set of SQE tests (22 in number). A build is not promoted unless it passes quicklook, CTS smoke and SQE smoke tests.
Check out GlassFish Quick Start Guide and FAQ for more info.
GlassFish is a free, open source application server which implements the newest features in the Java EE 5 platform (the next version of the J2EE platform). The Java EE 5 platform includes the latest versions of technologies such as Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) 3.0, JavaServer Faces (JSF) 1.2, Servlet 2.5, JavaServer Pages (JSP) 2.1, Java API for Web Services (JAX-WS) 2.0, Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB) 2.0, Java Persistence 1.0, Common Annotations 1.0, Streaming API for XML (StAX) 1.0, and many other new technologies.
Project WebSynergy - Liferay and GlassFish Deliver a Modern Web Portal
|
Sun has joined the Liferay Community to develop a common Web presentation platform that incorporates portal and integration technologies from Liferay and from OpenPortal, GlassFish, OpenSSO and other related projects (Press Release, FAQ@Liferay, FAQ@OpenPortal). The collaboration actually started a while ago and Liferay 5.0 (Download) already includes Portlet 2.0, WSRP and OpenSSO support. Future technologies will include Mirage CMS, SAW and others... |
WebSynergy is closely related to the current and future evolution of GlassFish; to formally recognize that, we will formally add OpenPortal to the larger GlassFish community.
An early version of WebSynergy based on Liferay 5.0, GlassFish v3, and MySQL is Now Available (also see screencast).
Several of the key community members have written about WebSynergy; check out:
• Brian @ Liferay - Liferay and Sun
• James @ OpenPortal - Sun/Liferay Initiative

New, Unlimited Pricing Option for Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server
|
The Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server (nee Sun Java System Application Server) has a new, additional, "unlimited" pricing option. The offering was announced in the GlassFish Combo PR. As of this writing, the pricing has not yet propagated to the GF Subscriptions Page, but I know the concept is modeled on the MySQL Enterprise Unlimited offering. |
New Sun Partner Program for GlassFish
|
Today Sun is launching a new partner program for the GlassFish Server. This program is initially targeted at ISVs and hosting providers but we have also seen high interest from SIs, consultants and trainers and we will expand it in that direction in the near future - check the Program Info to apply. |
The initial companies in the program are listed below in alphabetical order. the list is growing, so check the Online Parter Showcase. Also, if you contacted us and you are not listed, please be patient and we will process your submission in the next few days.

New Name for Sun Java System Application Server
|
Today Sun announced that we will be renaming our distribution of the GlassFish AppServer from "Sun Java System Application Server" to "Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server" to more clearly articulate its relationship with GlassFish. |
I believe the new name will not kick in formally until the next release, which would be GF v2.1. Post any questions about the change as comments to this entry and we will address them.
