GlassFish V2 is adding the remaining Enterprise-Quality features into the Open Source Project GlassFish. For Milestone 2 that means improved clustering installation and administration, and these revolve around the concept of a Domain. Two good overviews of Domains are Shreedhar's recent entry and Kedar's earlier blog. More TA entries on the subject are here. Cluster installation has also been incorporated into the quickstart guide. Finally, the GlassFish V2 Architecture Page has more details. |
The GlassFish User Experience group is going through a number of topics to improve the usability of GlassFish. The meetings are open (like this one), minutes are posted, and then we hope action is taken :-).

Two weeks ago Satish presented on Load Balancing Administration (Minutes). After that he wrote two blogs describing Installing Load Balancer using the (APS) Installer and on Updating and Monitoring HTTP Load Balancer, and now has a Summarized the status of LB Administration. There is also a new Load Balancer Home Page. We hope all of this helps with Load Balancing ease of use, but send mail to the USERS mailing list if you have feedback to share. |
