Server-Side Includes Support in GlassFish
|
The GlassFish Server has implemented Server-Side Includes since early GFv2 (see Feb 07 entry); starting with GFv3 this feature will be supported formally. Check Shing Wai's SSI Announcement where he describes how to create SSI files and how to enable and configure their processing. Enjoy! |
JSF 2.0 Preview Series - Publish/Subscribe Events and Resource Relocation
|
Ryan has written two more notes on his JSF 2.0 Preview series. Collecting them all chronologically for ease of references:
• Part 1 - Packaging / Project Staging
|
Ryan is also leading the Mojarra Implementation, the production-ready, Reference Implementation that will be used in GlassFish v3, and he also just announced the Early Access Implementation.
JSF's adoption seems to continue to be strong and to grow. I am beginning to think the adoption is bimodal, it depends very much on what market/geography one considers. For example, see Kito's JSF Jobs writeup.
Note: also see reviews/summaries of Ryan's posts by Ed and in earlier TA's spotlights: here and here.
Overview of GlassFish v2 Releases at GlassFishForBusiness
Over the weekend I added some entries to GlassFishForBusiness to describe the GFv2 releases. GFB is intended to track Sun's offerings to help you use the GlassFish Server in production; unlike TA, GFB is updated only occasionally so you may want to subscribe to its News Feed. The new entries are:

• Overview of GFv2 Releases
Patches come out every 6-8 weeks as part of Sun's Enterprise Support. GFv2U2 was going to be our first patch but became a public release to align with other releases. |
Also recall that we will switch to Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server for Sun's distribution during the GFv2.1 release cycle. Until then those distributions will continue to use the old Sun Java System Application Server (or SJSAS).
Ah, the picture is that of Messier Objects, from his "Catalogue des Nébuleuses et des Amas d'Étoiles" (Wikipedia, Large Image).
JSF 2.0 Preview Series - More Resources, API and Expression Language
|
Earlier in the year Ryan (Mr JSF RI/Mojarra) started a series on the new JSF 2.0 features. Ryan's first entry covered the notion of Project Stages and then he started on Resources. The first entry on that series covered Packaging and the next one was on the APIs backing resources. Ryan just published a last entry in that series: Accessing Resources from Expression Language. Since Ryan is also the implementer all these examples are grounded in the RI and he privately told me that there should be an EA release out "any day now". Stay tuned and we will let you know. |
What's in the GlassFish Update Centers?
We are regularly adding more modules to the two (v2/v3) GlassFish Update Center(s) and it is a bit hard to track what's available there today.
|
You could just fire your updatetool but I've done some screenshots to save you time and encourage you to use the tool:

PS. I think the right answer is that one should be able to point the browser to the repository to browse; that's coming.
Happy GlassFish v2 user gives v3 a first ride
|
Dick ("Number9"), a happy GlassFish v2 customer (lots of nice content here), has a review of GlassFish v3 TP2. He goes through the user experience of installing, starting and updating (web UI) the application server. It also details simple deployment and where to find documentation. |
Dick is very much production-focused (not that it's a bad thing ! ;) so it may be useful to add that GlassFish v3 TP2 also offers an update tool to install one or all of the following: EJB 3.1 preview, jRubyOnRails (no more WAR packaging required), Grails, Jersey, metro, and jMaki.
GlassFish v3 TP2 is available for download from http://glassfish.org/downloads/v3 (21 Megs).
New NetBeans, GlassFish and MySQL Bundle
|
The NetBeans team released a new NB + MySQL + GF bundle (download) a couple of weeks ago but I didn't time to write about it. The bundle includes:
• NetBeans 6.1
See reviews and comments from James - a frequent NetBeans blogger - and Colin - a frequent MySQL blogger - |

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.
