GlassFish flies for FAA's NASE
The Federal Aviation Administration's NASE department is chartered with developing software to support Radar Systems, Navigation and Landing System, Weather Processors and Sensors amongst others and GlassFish is now used in production in this department.
NASE runs their applications on Solaris on Sun hardware, uses JSF quite extensively (including the WoodStock set of components) along with JPA and Web Services. Hobi Haque clearly states the Web console (admin GUI) as what got them hooked on GlassFish. It's also interesting to note how this adoption of GlassFish came through the use of NetBeans 6 which provides together with GlassFish v2 a very integrated and productive environment to develop Java EE applications. As Hobi puts it - "Setting up JDBC resources, Web Services, and HTTP Services are smooth as a glassfish".
Make sure you read the full questionnaire for this adoption story by the FAA's NASE department.
