DZone has an interview up with two of the Sailfin developers. Sailfin in the project developed in commun with Ericsson to provide a SIP-enabled application server. The interview goes into the value of writing "converged applications" which lets the developer access the contents of both SIPsession and HTTPSession from the same code and thus provide exiting new possibilities for rich media interactions. This is not (only) telco software for the telco world!

Vince gets into how much work has gone into enhancing NetBeans 6.1 to ease development (previous coverage on TheAquarium here), including the testing side of things (a SIP injector really). Sailfin is built to provide SIPServlet support as an extension to GlassFish, leveraging its existing administration, performance, and clustering technologies. Of course, being an open source project is another key value of the projects.

More Sailfin coverage on this blog can be found here.

The first two episodes of the GlassFish Podcast are now up (part 1 and part 2 of a Metro interview with Vivek Pandey). Each part is around 20 minutes. By now you should be able to subscribe directly from iTunes by searching for "glassfish". The next episode is about GlassFish Clustering and the Shoal project (expect this early next week). Future episodes will include interviews on tooling, v3, deployment, update center, OpenMQ, Hudson, and more. These will go out in the coming weeks. Any preference as to which one you would like to see come out first? Any preference on the length of these episodes?

Suggestions on future topics? Be sure to comment here or send an email to glassfishpodcast@sun.com.REMOVE.

The JavaPosse is a popular weekly podcast that covers Java news in great technical details with a pretty unique and friendly tone. It has previously covered some GlassFish news. This time, Distinguished Engineer Eduardo Pelegri-Llopart and GlassFish Architect Jérôme Dochez are interviewed in the latest episode (interview starts @ 21:49 in the show). It covers quite a bit of GlassFish v3, Jérôme's current full-time job as well as the (very) soon to be released GlassFish v2.

The JavaPosse gang has done a few live recordings in the past and will do a few more in European with stops in Norway (JavaZone) and Belgium (JavaPolis).
