I have fallen in love with [Sun] Web Server 7.

Tuesday Jun 09, 2009

It's particularly a great endorsement when your customers say - I have
fallen in love with your products, is it not? Sun.com, javafax.com,
opensolaris.com and a number of online properties are managed by our
Sun.com engineering (whom I like to call it as the Enterprise 2.0
team!) I thought it was pretty neat when I read (only recently, my
bad), Jed Michnowicz praises simplicity of using Web Server 7.0.

Open Web Server launched!

Tuesday Jan 13, 2009

I'm really excited to announce that we have completed the work to oped
source the core of Sun Java System Web Server under the BSD license.
This project offers a sub-set of Sun Java System Web Server's features,
but is the same highly scalable HTTP server that drives many of the
most demanding and secure Web sites.


The project site is here.


A feature comparison of Open Web Server and Sun Java System Web Server is here.


Developer documentation and build instructions are here.


Open Web Server is a part of the larger Web Stack community within the OpenSolaris project.


We welcome your feedback and participation within the OpenSolaris Web Stack community.
