Deep Dive: Sun GlassFish Web Space Server 10.0
At the 2008 JavaOne Conference, Sun made an exciting announcement regarding a collaboration agreement it reached with the Liferay open portal community. Both companies agreed to share code and release products from a common codebase. Sun GlassFish Web Space Server is an outgrowth of that common codebase, bringing together features and technologies from Liferay as well as Sun's OpenPortal communities.
In this Deep Dive video, James Falkner, Sun's Product Architect for portal technologies, demonstrates many of the features that Sun GlassFish Web Space Server offers for administrators, developers, and end users. Along the way, he demonstrates some cool features such as hooking portlet events together graphically, and changing the theme for a portal page in Adobe Dreamweaver using Web Space Server's View Designer plugin.
There's so much functionality in the Web Space Server that it was difficult to fit James's demonstrations into one short video. So instead we offer multiple videos -- or a video in multiple parts. Watch it. I think you'll see that Sun GlassaFish Web Space Server 10.0 is a fun and highly functional product.
- Part 1: Learn about the key features in Sun GlassFish Web Space Server 10.0.
- Part 2: See a demonstration of Web Space Server administration features.
- Part 3: See how easy it is to create portlets using the NetBeans Portal Pack with Web Space Server.

JavaFX App-O-Rama
Although the JavaFX platform is only a few months old -- its initial full release was in December 2009 -- people are already building some really cool applications with it. A new article, titled JavaFX App-O-Rama: Applications From the Community, highlights three community based projects that are producing cool, innovative JavaFX applications.
Here are some other good places to find cool JavaFX applications, sample programs, and demonstrations:
- JavaFX Sample Gallery
- JFXStudio
- Planet JFX
- The Planetarium
- Jim Weaver's JavaFX Blog

Enterprise Tech Tip: Jersey and Spring
There have been a number of interesting Enteprise Tech Tips about JAX-RS and Jersey. These include Implementing RESTful Web Services in Java, Configuring JSON for RESTful Web Services in Jersey 1.0, and Consuming RESTful Web Services With the Jersey Client API. Recently, another interesting Tech Tip on Jersey made an appearance. This one covers Jersey's support for the Spring Framework.
Spring is a very popular enterprise Java framework, and if you're a Spring user who is also interested in JAX-RS, check out this tip.

Two new Tech Tips
I'd like to highlight two interesting Enterprise Tech Tips that were added over the last few months to the Enterprise Tech Tips blog. The first, Converged Enterprise Applications, by Prasad Subramanian, is a follow up to an earlier tip on Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) servlets and their use in voice-related applications. The earlier tip introduced the concept of a converged enterprise application -- an enterprise application that has a SIP servlet application bundled within it. The follow-up tip goes into more detail about this concept and provides a working example. Prasad Subramanian is the project lead for the Sailfin project, an open source implementation of a SIP servlet container using the GlassFish application server.
The second tip covers Jersey's support for Spring. The tip is written by Paul Sandoz, co-spec lead and implementation lead for JSR-311, the Java API for RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS). Jersey is an open-source, production-ready reference implementation of JAX-RS. Spring is a popular framework for building and running enterprise Java applications. Jersey has integrated support for Spring. This tip shows you how to take advantage of that support. It shows you how to configure Spring with Jersey and use Jersey's Spring-related features.
