Metro,
the
GlassFish
Web Services stack
(Metro This is not surprising: the performace of Metro is very good (see, for instance, yesterday's testimonial), its interoperability is outstanding, it's Flexible Architecture supports multiple Encodings and Transports, includes REST suport via Jersey, the licenses (GPLv2+CDDL) are very usable, it has a Growing Community and great Tool Support in NB 6.1 and is an Award-Winner. |
Metro is directly available in the enterprise-ready GlassFish v2 as well as in the modular GFv3, as well as in Sun's JDK. And, if you really insist, we even show you how to Install it on Tomcat :-)

The Migration Tool for GlassFish/SJS Application Server has been available for some time now. What Sekhar is announcing is the Open Sourcing of that tool which is GlassFish-specific and picks up where the AVK (Java EE 5 only) left off. The new homepage for this migration tool is https://migrate2glassfish.dev.java.net/. |
Other resources include Overview, FAQ, and Documentation.
The tool currently does not support the latest and greatest versions of application servers, but that's not very important given it is meant to help people move their older applications over to GlassFish. Finally, just like the AVK, this is "just a tool", so while it can save you some precious time, it probably cannot claim 100% effectiveness.
