John has posted an Update on GF v3, which will come in multiple releases, like v2. The first release (v3) is driven by JavaEE 6 compliance and the specs schedule; we will have a solid EA by JavaOne but the final release is scheduled for the end of September. GFv3 will also have the embedded API and the Web Profile. The next release after that (v3.1) will add HA Clustering, Centralized Admin and more product features. |
Check out the Schedule details and the Functional Specs. And keep giving us feedback on the release so v3 is as good as you deserve.

This year's CommunityOne (West) starts a day before JavaOne, which gives us another opportunity to host an Unconference (see 2008 page) down in one of the big rooms at the Moscone Center. The event would be in the afternoon of Sunday, May 31st, so, if you are planning to attend C1 and/or J1 consider arranging your availability and/or travel plans to get there a bit earlier. This year we will cover the full range of projects under the GlassFish Portfolio umbrella (Server, WebSpace Server, ESB, Web Stack, Hudson, Communications Server, Mobility Platform) as well as the Identity projects (OpenSSO, OpenDS, IdMgr, RoleMgr)... Like last year, we will also follow-up with a party at The Thirsty Bear (@GoogleMaps). |
Added - The 2009 page is Here.
The call for papers for the JavaOne 2009 (@ San Francisco) is out. And so is that for ComunityOne 2009, except that this year there are two events, East and West. Note that both CFPs close later this month.
|
• JavaOne - In San Francisco, June 2-5th, 2009. CFP closes on Dec 18th.

We will start a coordination page for the GlassFish Community around these events early next week. I think we will need to ask help from Paul, Arun and Alexis :-)

An interesting mini talk on Dynamic Networks with JBI is now available in the JavaOne community corner podcasts. Travis Chase from Accenture's National Security Services division details how GlassFish and OpenESB helped them develop a solution that decreases the network set-up time to run an exercise from weeks to minutes. |
The team developed and contributed several components to the community to achieve this, including the XMPP, SIP and RSS binding components; plus they leveraged several others of the 30+ components available in the OpenESB community. The strong web service capabilities of GlassFish were used to define the business logic on the ESB.
If these components look familiar, we used the same RSS and XMPP components in the Project Fuji screencasts to show how quick and easy it is to route and filter messages between these systems.

The "Exploding GlassFish" T-Shirt was a very special design created for JavaOne. I think it is very nice, but, what do I know about these things? My teenage kids, on the other hand, are experts - specially the 15yr-old skateboarding boy - and they both agree with me! Thanks to Court Patton over at Quichrbichn, you can now purchase this T-shirt online. Note that all proceeds go to a charity of your choice - just indicate which one at checkout. Enjoy! |

Alexis has collected a few good links on OpenMQ in his OpenMQ, the untold story. Noteworthy are the adoption stories from SNCF, TravelMuse, OakAir, RTL and Wotif, and the two uStream.TV videos from CommunityOne: video, part 1 and video, part 2. BTW, I can't find a public page with the roadmap for OpenMQ. I'll post it when I find it. |

The Jazoon conference is less than a month away and it kicks off with a GlassFish Day on Monday June 23rd 2008. Clearly the agenda is still pretty much a place-holder at this point but given the number and the quality of the speakers (Jérôme, Paul, Andi, Pat, Ludo, ...) I'm expecting a high-quality event. |
I'll be working on the detailed agenda (which may include some open space/unconference format) in the next few days. In the mean time Felipe has an overview of GlassFish talks at Jazoon.
Make sure you register for the GlassFish Day (marked as "Tutorial") so we have an idea at how many people we can expect. Again, this part of the conference is free.
It's been a while since my last Hudson Adoption roundup, so this is longer than usual:

Hands-On Labs from JavaOne 2008 are available online. You'll find detailed steps for the "Plug into GlassFish V3 with JavaServer Faces and jMaki" lab which is what inspired the "Admin Console Plugins in GlassFish v3" screencast. |
There's a total of 27 labs fully documented with detailed steps and archives. Here are the GlassFish-related ones:
• Adding Convergence of media to your Java EE Application using NetBeans IDE and Sailfin
• Metro: Try Out Simple and Interoperable Web Services
• Adding performance to your SIP based applications
• Develop an AJAX Portlet with Netbeans IDE, OpenPortal and Google Web Toolkit
• Building Rich Web Applications Using jMaki
• How to Build Ajax enabled Web Applications Using Project Woodstock
• Dynamic Service Composition with Open ESB: JavaOne Poll Application
• Orchestration of Web Services, Using WS-BPEL
• Building Secure, Reliable, Transactional SOA Applications Using Open ESB
• Query Continuous Data streams Using OpenESB's Intelligent Event Processor
Maybe you were lucky and managed to get one of the nice GlassFish memory sticks during JavaOne. But, if you didn't, here is your oppty: Jen, who put together the content for the original memory sticks has posted the same content in her blog. Just follow the links from her "Fish Stick Anyone?" writeup.
|
The virtual memory stick includes GlassFish v3 TP3, GlassFish v2UR2, MySQL, NetBeans, Hands-on Labs, WebSynergy, Screencasts, Documentation, Blogs, and more. It looks very complete. The World Wide Web - the ultimate (virtual) memory stick! :-) or, strictly speaking, USB flash drive... |

The Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server (nee Sun Java System Application Server) has a new, additional, "unlimited" pricing option. The offering was announced in the GlassFish Combo PR. As of this writing, the pricing has not yet propagated to the GF Subscriptions Page, but I know the concept is modeled on the MySQL Enterprise Unlimited offering. |
|
Today Sun is launching a new partner program for the GlassFish Server. This program is initially targeted at ISVs and hosting providers but we have also seen high interest from SIs, consultants and trainers and we will expand it in that direction in the near future - check the Program Info to apply. |
The initial companies in the program are listed below in alphabetical order. the list is growing, so check the Online Parter Showcase. Also, if you contacted us and you are not listed, please be patient and we will process your submission in the next few days.

JavaOne is proving to be its normal self. I had totally missed the GF v3 Admin Plugin Contest! I think it is a Nazrul/Anil special... Anyhow, thanks to Ken for the tip; go check the rules for the contest so you will have a chance to win a Canon SD1000 camera. And, if you think you have a really cool idea for a plugin, go an submit it to the GAP program; we still have a few openings. |
Fresh from the JavaOne today printed newletter for Day 1 (Tuesday), Hudson was awarded the 2008 DUke's Choice Award in the Developer Solutions category.

The full list of winnners is:
• Step2e - Java Technology in Broadcasting

Here is the Official Announcement.
