Bragging time: 883.66 JOPS@Standard - GlassFish v2 now has the best SPECjAppServer 2004 on T2000; better than BEA's, Oracle's and IBM's. Read Scott's writeup for the details and caveats. The result reflects improvements in many areas including EJBs, JMS, JSP compilation, Servlet connector and container, connection pooling, CMP 2.1 and more. GFv2 has also improved in areas not covered by SPECjAppServer 2004 like Web Services, EJB 3.0, JSF, JPA and others.

As Scott says, benchmarking is a leap-frogging game: tomorrow there may be another T2000 submission that is better than ours, but we have joined the game and we intend to keep hopping in front... And this benchmark is another example that you don't have to choose between Open Source and Enterprise Features: you can have both.
