Milestone 6 of SailFin is now available for download!. This release includes a number of bug fixes including JSR 289 TCK related issues. Prasad's blog gives more details and the list of 141 bugs fixed after MS5.

JSR 289 TCK provides much more coverage than its earlier version (~500 tests) and we had numerous questions on the tests. Mihir (spec lead from Oracle) answered all of them very quickly and SailFin passed all tests last week. Thanks Mihir. Here is the link to the test results and here is the latest TCK errata SailFin is using. |
Also take a look at the details about session invalidation in Bhavani's blog, a key new feature introduced in Sip Servlet 1.1. This feature replaces the original session expiration model in Sip Servlets 1.0 and is expected to make the applications more scalable.
The Diameter protocol is designed to provide an Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) framework for applications. The Diameter base protocol is defined by RFC 3588. The 3GPP standards body has adopted Diameter as the primary signaling protocol for AAA and mobility management in the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS).
|
In an IMS architecture, an application server like SailFin will use Diameter to communicate with HSS (Home Subscriber Server). HSS is a central subscriber database that performs AAA and helps in locating the user. Traffix systems announced that it will officially join the GlassFish Partner Program and Traffix’s OpenBloX(TM) Diameter will become a preferred Diameter platform for Project SailFin. OpenBloX Diameter integration with SailFin will be facilitated by a J2EE Connector 1.5 resource adapter and a Diameter java library. |
MS6 of SailFin is available for download. Please download and give it a try. And previous entries on Sailfin at TheAquarium are here.

Milestone 5 of SailFin is now available for download! The product is feature complete with this milestone and all the features have already crossed beta stage. The implementation team (from Sun and Ericsson) is now busy in fixing bugs and the final release is expected by end of this calendar year.
|
Prasad's blog explains the following key aspects of this milestone.
More SailFin coverage on this blog can be found here.

Project SailFin, built on top of GlassFish, provides a platform for developing and deploying converged Java EE and SIP Servlets applications. SailFin V1 Alpha is now available for download.
|
Prasad has written a detailed description about the features in this release. Check it out. Check previous entries on SailFin at TheAquarium also. SailFin is already the basis for the projects like Presence Support in Web Synergy, DFC Application Router in ECharts, Sun Labs Conference Manager etc. The project team is now working on completing the implementation of the recently approved JSR 289 Final Release. Final release of SailFin V1 is expected by end of this calendar year. |
|
The SE/EE Executive Comittee of the JCP has approved (results) JSR 289, the SIP Servlet 1.1 Specification that is the core for SailFin. The final specification is not yet available but the PFD 2 should be very close. The first public release of SailFin will be aligned with GlassFish v2.1 and will happen around the end of the year; updated roadmaps are due in a few weeks. |
|
Ericsson Mobility World has posted more information about Service Development Studio (SDS) integration with SailFin (Sun GlassFish Communications Server). A new release of SDS supports SailFin and an extensive tutorial explaining the integration is available here.
On the netbeans front, Vince reports the availability of SIP Application Development Module Suite from the netbeans update center. Newest bits are available in the |
b37 of SailFin is available now and it contains a number of fixes for performance and longevity. Check previous entries on Sailfin at TheAquarium also.
|
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.

The previous SailFin post covered a fair bit of ground but somehow managed to forget about Jan's "Converged Http Sessions in SailFin" post. Using the Click-to-dial sample application, Jan starts off introducing us to the In an equally well-documented post, Bhavani shares his SIMPLE SipServlet implementation of a presence and chatting feature powered by Sailfin and based on SIMPLE, the SIP-based protocol for instant messaging (IM) and presence. A screencast and full source code (developed with NetBeans' SIPServlet capabilities) are also available. As a reminder, Sailfin's Milestone 4 is available to download here. |
