TmaxSoft JEUS 7 is the second JavaEE 6 App Server
  Posted by pelegri in GlassFish

GlassFish has company! TmaxSoft's JEUS 7 AppServer passed the Java EE 6 compatibility at the end of December and is now compatible. JEUS 7 is currently available only as a Technology Preview, with the final release planned for the end of 2010.

I expect a fairly rapid adoption of JavaEE 6. JBoss and Caucho have indicated their intent to release Web Profile (post, overview, spec) App Servers "soon". Geronimo 3 will implement the full profile by the end of 2010 and so will the final JBoss 6.

And, of course, the modular GlassFish v3 already supports Web and full Profile.

Sang's newest passion - Java EE 6 Code Camp
  Posted by alexismp in GlassFish

Sang Shin, the tireless creator of javapassion.com teamed up with Antonio Goncalves (author of the first Java EE 6 book) and others to provide you with a free, week-long Java EE 6 Online Codecamp.

ALT DESCR

The idea is simple - tour the Java EE 6 features via slides, code sample, and detailed lab instructions at your own pace. The lab starts tomorrow (Tuesday 12th, January 2010) and lasts for a week. Check out this FAQ entry for details on what it's like to take an online course like this one. Registration is as simple as joining the javaee6-codecamp Google group. You'll also notice on the codecamp homepage that there's a great panel of advisors (spec lead, tech leads, ...) ready to answer technical questions you may have.

This code camp is a nice follow-up to the "Java EE 6 and GlassFish v3" Virtual Conference, and obviously leverages both GlassFish v3 and NetBeans 6.8 which have now been final for a month.

Content for the first two topics have already been posted : "Java EE 6 Overview & Getting Java EE 6 sample codes" as well as "Servlet 3.0". Others labs include CDI (Context and Dependency Injection), JPA 2.0, EJB 3.1, JSF 2.0, Java EE 6 End to End, GlassFish v3 OSGi, and Embeddable GlassFish v3.

Initial Report on JavaEE 6 / GlassFish v3 Virtual Conference
  Posted by pelegri in GlassFish

Our JavaEE 6 / GlassFish v3 Virtual Conference was a great success - and a lot of fun.

I'm going to let Harpreet report on the detailed attendance numbers, but peak simultaneous (not total/aggregated) attendance at the keynotes was over 1400.

This is our first time, so I don't have comparison numbers, but it seems very good for an online presentation in mid-December!

The general feedback from attendees, presenters and chat participants was very positive and many people suggested us to do these more often. A couple of reports are here and here.

The most common questions have been: Will the recordings be available? (yes) How soon (hopefully within a couple of weeks) and How do I get them? (will notify people in the GlassFish registration mailing list, and will post at GlassFish Resources)

Java EE 6 Virtual Conference - Reminder and some Hints
  Posted by pelegri in GlassFish

ALT DESCR

Tomorrow (Tuesday, Dec 15th) is our online Virtual Conference on JavaEE 6 and GlassFish v3. The conference is free but Requires Registration (check this PDF for full agenda).

Attendance is via any Flash-enabled browser; additional information, including the URL to use tomorrow, will be mailed to the email you used during registration.

Once you login during the VC you will automatically join a chat room with a generated name. Since we are expecting many attendees, I'd recommend you to use the nick command to assign yourself a name that is more easy to remember: to do that, type "/nick myNickname" (without quotes) at the chat window.

The response to the Virtual Conference has been very positive - I hope to see you online tomorrow. I'm specially looking forward to hearing from you in the chat room; a number of us will be there to try to answer your questions.

GlassFish v3 is Now Available!
  Posted by pelegri in GlassFish

Note I have split the resources and news links off from this GlassFish v3 Announcement into the first of one of a series of resources and links entries. The new arrangement is more manageable and also simplifies the creation of additional entries as more resources and news are posted on the release.

It has been 4 and a half years since we announced GlassFish during JavaOne 2005 (PR) and today we are making available our most important release: GlassFish v3 is now available for download!

Our first release was during JavaOne 2006, we released GlassFish v1, the first Java EE 5 compliant App Server (family overview) and the second generation of GlassFish came out in September 2007 (family overview). While still based on JavaEE 5, GFv2 leveraged on Sun's (too) long history of App Servers to add the benefits of an enterprise product (quality, performance, scalability) to those of an open source community (agility, ease of use, supportive teams, pricing).

While the transition between GlassFish v1 and v2 was evolutionary, the transition from v2 to v3 is a major change that includes a whole new set of JCP specifications, JavaEE 6, and a new modular, OSGi-based, architecture that expands significantly the applicability of GlassFish.

ALT DESCR

Key links available now:

• GlassFish v3 Main Product Page
JavaEE 6 Hub
• JavaEE 6 Downloads (multiple bundles)
Java EE 6 Feature Article (also see Overview White Paper).

We are hosting several events in the next few days; we hope to see many of you at our Virtual Conference on Dec 15th, and in one of our Community Parties.

Below are lists of posts relevant to the launch and the release; they will be updated through the day to incorporate news as they happen. Updates will also be posted to @glassfish at Twitter. If you use Twitter we recommend you to use #glassfish to facilitate discovery. Some level of geotagging would help visualize the spread of the community.

Launching GlassFish v3 - Virtual Conference
  Posted by pelegri in GlassFish

It's been a Hard Day's Night... - or rather years! - on the road towards GlassFish v3, so time to celebrate.  We have several events planned - the one we announced today is a Virtual Conference on December 15, 2009 that will cover Java EE 6 and GlassFish v3.

The event runs from 8am til 5pm (the times are Pacific Time but there will be replays).  The agenda covers all the core JavaEE 6 specifications as well important GlassFish-specific features like OSGi, Dynamic Languages, Tooling, Grizzly and Monitoring and Management.

Follow the link to register.  The mail invitation went our this morning to the GlassFish registration list but I've not had a chance to post until now - if you register the next time you will get the first first :-)

Finally, if you are close to Santa Clara, Burlington, or Bangalore, also reserve the 16th afternoon for a party...

Jersey Improvements - Tracing and Google AppEngine Support
  Posted by pelegri in Web.Next

Jersey is the JAX-RS Reference Implementation but also is fully production quality component of GlassFish v3, and includes many features (Jersey@TA) to expand its usefulness.  Paul just reported on two recent additions:

• The Addition of Tracing - borrowing the concept from Stapler, Jersey now permits tracing mesages via a system property to help understand why requests are matched and dispatched.
• Adjustments to the implementation so Jersey can be Used with Google's AppEngine, despite the limitations in that container.

JAX-RS was one of the first JavaEE 6 specifications approved, with 1.0 approved back in September 2008 (see JCP Vote Table).  The version included in JavaEE 6 is a recent maintenance release, JAX-RS 1.1, and Jersey has benefited from all this burn-in time.  Enjoy!

Java EE 6 Specifications Approved by JCP
  Posted by alexismp in General

Java EE 6 (Done!) logo

Roberto tweeted and blogged soon after the news broke: all the remaining Java EE 6 JSRs passed the final ballot. For the umbrella spec the result is 12 YES, 2 abstain, 1 No - details for all of them : Java EE 6, Servlet 3.0, EJB 3.1, JPA 2.0, CDI, Connectors 1.6. Congratulation to Roberto and to all the spec leads, EG members and to all the community participants for this most important milestone!

Added - Voting Tally for all specs.

Coverage so far :
The new EE ecosystem (Gavin King, CDI Spec Lead). Check also the comments to his earlier post.

Java EE 6 Spec Finalized and Approved (JavaLobby)

As Roberto wrote in his entry, "The final release will happen on December 10, when GlassFish v3 will be available". The specifications become final when the corresponding TCKs and RIs are delivered and that is the target date. Exciting times ahead!
