Java EE 5 SDK Update 8 Now Available
  Posted by pelegri in Cloud

ALT DESCR

We have released an updated version of the JavaEE 5 SDK. Update 8 includes Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v2.1.1 and Java SE 6 Update 18 (download, release notes and instructions).

Note this is the GlassFish v2 / JavaEE 5-based release; we keep it going in parallel with the new GlassFish v3 / JavaEE 6-based release as it includes features like clustering and HA support (see Comparing v2 and v3).

Expanded from @glassfish.

Upgrade to GlassFish v3 - effortlessly
  Posted by alexismp in GlassFish

ALT DESCR

While GlassFish v3 offers a lot of new features (Java EE 6 and OSGi-based modularity being the most obvious ones), we take compatibility very seriously and want your existing applications currently running in GlassFish v2.1.x or GlassFish v3-Prelude to run unmodified in our latest release.

To that effect GlassFish can detect earlier versions of 'domain.xml' (the all-in-one config file for GlassFish) and upgrade it for you (when you start GlassFish v3 as one option). Please read Bobby's recent post for more on this.

The official documentation can be found in the upgrade guide. That document also covers the 'asupgrade' graphical tool (which ships with the appserver but which wasn't there in Prelude). If you want more technical details on the changes and why they were required, please read this piece. Remember that it was not supported to edit domain.xml by hand back then. It's still not supported today, but who would want to do that when you have 'asadmin', the web console, and now the RESTful API?

As a reminder, when we released GlassFish v3 on December 10th 2009 (together with Java EE 6), we had a blog storm with many many interesting posts about everything-GlassFish v3 which are summarized in previous entries: Part I and Part II.

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.

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...

Wordpress on GlassFish v3
  Posted by pelegri in Web.Next

A common question is "How to run PHP on GlassFish".

There are several approaches but Number 9 has done a rerun of an older post, confirming that Wordpress runs like a champ on Quercus on GlassFish v3.  Thanks!

Please No Commits on v3 Trunk... and Other Stories of GFv3 FCS
  Posted by pelegri in GlassFish

ALT DESCR

It's been a hard year, but the GlassFish community has kept pushing v3 onward and all the indicators are that the result is very much worth the effort.

The target date for GlassFish v3 is mid-December so the last few weeks have been very busy - check out these MarkMail charts:

DEV - last month was really close to an all-time record.
ISSUES - an easy all-time record.
QUALITY - highest since Sept'08.

Plenty of progress to highlight from there; below are some.

Final Branch:

If you are curious, peek at the hudson dashboard; it has plenty of very interesting jobs, including the nice progress on findbugs.

Update to GlassFish v3 Schedule
  Posted by pelegri in GlassFish

ALT DESCR

Abhijit has announced an update to the GlassFish v3 fcs schedule. We could not keep the previous date due to a black-out period at the JCP (EC elections) and moving the date forward proved to be unworkable for several reasons - including the current Java.Net problems - so we moved the date out by two weeks.

New dates set the hard code freeze (HCF) date to Nov 9, 2009, with a final release by Dec 10. Full details at Schedule Page@Wiki.
