For insight into GlassFish and Java EE, please check out a java.sun.com interview I conducted with Sun GlassFish engineer Sahoo who, among other things, is currently involved in enabling GlassFish to run on the OSGi platform and writing a portability checking tool for Java EE applications.
Sahoo, who works in Bangalore, India, has a lot to say about the future of GlassFish and Java EE. Some brief highlights: -- The GlassFish team is implementing an OSGi-based microkernel architecture. -- By modularizing GlassFish using OSGi, it will be a lot easier for GlassFish partners to add extra modules in GlassFish to suit the needs of their users. -- In the coming year, GlassFish will be implemented in Java EE 6. -- GlassFish is being made available to non-Java programmers such as JRuby and Groovy users.
