Another customer banking on GlassFish - Banque Degroof Luxembourg

GlassFish is used by a small but fast-paced team of developers from Banque Degroof Luxembourg. Their portfolio management application has been in production for a few months now and they've already experienced the value of being a supported customer to work around a critical bug (fixed in GlassFish v2ur1/SJS Application Server 9.1ur1).

The administration tools seems like the key argument that helped this customer make the GlassFish choice. They are using a Sybase database and also Java CAPS, Sun's SOA offering largely based on Java EE and GlassFish.

As developer Olivier Gerouville puts it: "It is good to work with products that have strong on-line communities, it does make our work easier". You can read the full GlassFish Adoption Questionnaire for more details.

Numera trusts GlassFish v2 for several payment applications

If you hear that a credit card holder website, a payment gateway, a web application for bank branches, and a call center web application are all running on the same application server software, you might think that this is because it took a lot of persuasion by the software vendor. As it turns out, the software is GlassFish and the effort is really only about making an easy-to-use product.

These particular applications are running on Windows, using mainly the Metro stack to interact with .Net Web Services. They also make use of the Java Persistence API with a MS SQL Server back-end.

Learn how Carlo from Numera, a subsidiary of Banco di Sardegna specializing in IT services, discovered GlassFish, started using it to develop Java EE 5 applications and went into production for those four different applications in this full questionnaire.
