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.

Taking EJB 3.1 for a Test Drive - Install it on GlassFish v3
|
The release of the EJB 3.1 EDR Spec early last month generated good feedback but there is nothing like an implementation to help understand the spec so... Mahesh and the implementation team have just pushed out an EA of EJB3.1 that installs as a container in the newly available GFv3 TP2. Check out the Features Available and How to Install it. Also see Ken's intro to the plugin. |
Check it out and please give us feedback. Enjoy!
uStream - Live Blogging from CommunityOne
|
This year CommunityOne is going to include live streaming of the sessions. The technology is uStream.TV and it worked very well for me when I tested it earlier. I've been looking for something like this for a couple of years and, if it goes well today, I have plans to use it for live events (already created the TA Channel). Today's CommunityOne channels will be at uStream.TV/channel. Check it out and let us know how it works for you. |
Introducting Project Fuji - Core for Open ESB v3
|
More teasers out there... check out Andi's note on Java CAPS and Fuji. Project Fuji will be specially interesting to GlassFish; from the Fuji WebSite: [A] lightweight micro-kernel based on JBI (JSR 208) and OSGi. Packaged as an OSGi bundle, the micro-kernel can be installed in any OSGi-compliant runtime. |
For full details, check out Andi and Keiths' session on Wednesday at 9:30 am: TS-6385 Integration Profile for GlassFish Project v3

Nice Logo, BTW... :-) |

GlassFish v3 TP2 - Now Available
|
GlassFish v3 TP2 is now available! Start at the Download Page; the release itself is just 22MB as a ZIP. Check: QuickStart Guide, Content, Tutorial and Documentation Index. |
This is the new modular, OSGi-based, version of the GlassFish Server. You will note it starts very fast (you can use "--verbose" for timing info). Once up it is listening on port 8080 (by default) and you get the Up and Running Page. Services are loaded (and downloaded if necessary!) as needed.
For example, if you go request the administration console it will be loaded and you will see the familiar Login Screen, and, behind it, the Administration Tasks.
GF v3 TP2 includes the new IPS-based package tool, and its associated Update Center 2. These tools are written in Python and the python packages will be downloaded on demand. Note that the Python Window kit (wxpython2.8), used by the UC2, is 128MB.
This release is described as a Technology Preview 2, but we believe it is actually quite solid; my hats off to the team for pulling it off!
Added: Also see Ludo's note on GFv3 TP2 and NB 6.1.
Wotif on OpenMQ and Oracle on EclipseLink - New Additions to GlassFish Track at CommunityOne
Two new GlassFish-related sessions for CommunityOne:

Overview of GlassFish Unconference and CommunityOne
|
|
I've updated the GlassFish Event Page with the latest information on the 2008 GlassFish Unconference and CommunityOne. I have linked to 18 sessions related to GlassFish, covering AppServer, MQ, Portal, Social Software, ESB, FAM, Scripting, Persistence and Web Tier. |
Some of the sessions are in the GF "track", others are listed elsewhere. This means you can't be in all the sessions you likely want to attend, so bring a friend and compare notes.
CommunityOne is free but space is limited. Register Now to save your place.
GlassFish v3 - Now With OSGi Support
3 weeks to go before JavaOne and I expect the usual flurry of announcements and releases. One we have already pre-announced is GlassFish v3 TP2; in the next days we will highlight some of the benefits of this release.
|
The two key features in GFv3 are modularity and Java EE 6, and the first one is showing with a twist: Jerome has announced that GFv3 runs on OSGi! The lower layers of HK2 were designed to be replaceable and the latest TP2 builds include a OSGi runtime. "Very eager" users can go try this in GFv3 TP2 b09; those that are just "eager" may want to wait for this week's build, or wait a bit longer for the actual TP2 release. |
We will be showcasing GFv3 TP2 and more at JavaOne but if you want a sneak preview come to the GlassFish Track of CommunityOne on Monday.

The Java Posse on GlassFish: "Rule-Changing"
|
As we've mentioned, GlassFish got a lot of attention at this year's JavaOne conference. So it shouldn't be surprising that it also got a lot of attention when the Java Posse guys shared their own JavaOne Restrospective [podcast, resources]. The GlassFish discussion goes from around 17:15 to 24:30 in the podcast. They start off by talking about the GlassFish v3 demo: "All you need to know ... is cycle time of less than a second to start the application server ... that is rule-changing." That's a nice endorsement of GlassFish's future, but they clearly think it has also plenty to offer right now. Not pulling any punches, one of the guys sums up his opinion of GlassFish as an application server: "It's the best one I've used of them all." |
That's just a sampling of the discussion, though. They also touch on marketshare trends, the dynamics between closed-source and open-source implementations, the benefits of being a Reference Implementation, and more. It's definitely worth a listen.
GlassFish and a lot more in Belgium and Luxembourg later this month
Sun Microsystems is sponsoring two post-JavaOne events later this month in Europe covering GlassFish v2 and v3 but also Desktop Java, SOA, scripting languages, and more:
|
• JavaOne Afterglow Belgium. June 26th, 2007. De Montil Affligem (Bruxelles, Belgium)
|
Note that JavaOne Technical Session PDFs are available for free from SDN. A good chunk (half?) of the presentations are also now available in a multimedia version (slides + audio + transcript) such as , "JAX-RS RESTful Web Services", or "Packaging Java Application for Ubuntu".
Ericsson and GlassFish - Changing the World of Communication
|
One of today's keynote announcement was that Ericsson is contributing their SIP Servlet container to the GlassFish community [1], [2], [3]. We welcome Ericsson to the community and we look forward to making this available to the wider internet community. This is the first open source SIP Servlet implementation and has the potential of having a big impact on the availability of communication services in the internet. Check Sreeram's blog. The actual project site is SailFin, including a live code repostory. |

See you at GlassFish Day!
|
Hope to see many of you in 3 days at GlassFish Day. A number of us are going to be there - I'll try to create a list of Community Attendees at the wiki. Look around for us at the GlassFish demo stations and elsewhere wearing GlassFish T-Shirts. Come ask us any questions about the technology, the community, or how to partner with us. GlassFish Day is free and you should register to ensure space, but if you read this late, just drop by. |
Remember to ask us about the multiple freebies and special events through the day; we are going to hand out t-shirts, GF bumper stickers, USB memory sticks and some GlassFish Champion awards.
Overview of GlassFish Day and CommunityOne
CommunityOne is taking its final form. The day (Monday, May 7th, 2007) starts with a general session and then we will break into multiple tracks, with a couple of breaks, including lunch. There will be multiple demos and technical stations during the day, and the day ends with a reception.
|
The tracks are:
• NetBeans
|
The GlassFish community has 4 formal sessions in GlassFish Day where we will cover: GlassFish v2, Real Adoption Stories, Wider GlassFish Ecosystem and GlassFish Future. GlassFish content is also a big part of NetBeans Day and Web 2.0.
The content will continue to adjust in the next couple of weeks, up to the usual last minute announcements, and I'll be posting highlights as we settle them. We welcome your feedback to make this experience as informative, interesting and fun as possible; in the meantime, come and Register before it fills up.
