3 weeks to go before JavaOne and I expect the usual flurry of announcements and releases. One we have already pre-announced is GlassFish v3 TP2; in the next days we will highlight some of the benefits of this release.
|
The two key features in GFv3 are modularity and Java EE 6, and the first one is showing with a twist: Jerome has announced that GFv3 runs on OSGi! The lower layers of HK2 were designed to be replaceable and the latest TP2 builds include a OSGi runtime. "Very eager" users can go try this in GFv3 TP2 b09; those that are just "eager" may want to wait for this week's build, or wait a bit longer for the actual TP2 release. |
We will be showcasing GFv3 TP2 and more at JavaOne but if you want a sneak preview come to the GlassFish Track of CommunityOne on Monday.

CommunityOne is free but space is limited; register early. |
That's totally awesome. Last year, during CommunityOne, I publicly asked Jonathan Schwarz and Rich Green about OSGi support in the application server. I'm pleasantly surprised that it made it in, and within a year. Two thumbs up.

Great!!! I have been using Glassfish quite a long time, more than 2 years and It always performs well. Everything about it is great except for one thing - the lack of OSGi support. I definitely believe that GF3 will become one of the best OSGi supporting application servers.
Wonderful!!!
