We have now created a new forum to discuss webtier in Glassfish. You can join the email alias webtier@glassfish.dev.java.net or just post your questions on the Glassfish webtier forum. Please see the announcement from Rajiv. 

Here are some examples on what you could ask:

If you were like many others trying to use comet in your app and asked: Glassfish is working out great but does it support comet?,  you would get a lightning reply from Jean-Francois that we have the best comet implementation in Glassfish through project Grizzly. He would be proud that Comet implementation has matured over last 2 years! since he first blogged in Jul 2006, when everyone still thought comet was a celestial body :)

If you posted how you could improve productivity using JSF, you would get a very quick answer from Ryan pointing out that you can get a edit-save-reload  experience in JSF! by using Groovy and would point you to his blog.  You would also get pointers from others to leverage on jMaki, Netbeans support, woodstock and many other components.

If you wanted to know if you could use your favorite scripting language and still leverage all the Glassfish goodies (like clustering, http failover, centralized management, multi-threading capabilities, Java EE APIs, etc), Arun , Vivek, and others would reply in a heartbeat with an emphatic yes for Ruby (use JRuby), Python (use Jython), Groovy, JavaScript (use Phobos), Scala, and others!
 
They would beat me to it everytime! Isn't this really cool!! Let the discussion begin!

Win Ultra20

It's live!! Sun is giving away an ultra20 workstation every week! What do you have to do? Just have fun with Java EE 5 technology! To start, download any appserver bits from here; play with Java EE 5 technology; login to admin gui to give your feedback. (see more details). Do you need reasons to download?

In my oscars spirit, here are my 3 nominees (in no specific order) to download Java EE 5:

  1. Beef up your resume
  2. Simplify your life (with ease of development)
  3. Win a free Workstation!

and the winner is................. YOU!

Have you heard the launch of Java EE 5 SDK preview? Have you seen what it has! Checkout three screencasts:


  introduces you to the SDK release

  demonstrates the nice administration console

  describes the deployment steps in the SDK

The screencasts are also linked from the SDK preview page.  Once you have seen and heard them, don't forget to download the bits. I must admit that it's my voice in the sdk preview screencast.
