New blogger! - Vince will be covering documentation on NetBeans, SOA and plans to use the blog to ellicit feedback. The first post is around a mini-tutorial on Configuring and Starting GlassFish from NetBeans. Check Vince's Blog Entry, and the tutorial online. It is very short but will be used in later tutorials.

It's no secret that JSPWiki runs well on GlassFish. In fact, it's what we use to run the the project's own wiki. Others have previously written instructions for running JSPWiki on GlassFish, but it's probably safe to say that none have gone into as much depth as Dennis Gesker. He has just published a complete recipe which documents each step in getting from a blank OS to a working Wiki (including installation of the JDK and GlassFish, database configuration, JSPWiki application deployment, and more).

There are two new tutorials that explain how to use jMaki. The first one shows how to use jMaki widgets in JSP pages, the second how to use jMaki widgets as a JSF component. Also see the earlier tutorial that introduces jMaki Components. Thanks to Jennifer for the tip.
