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.

Sun Blogs, Sun Forums: Reference Deployments of Sun Web Server 7.0

Friday Nov 14, 2008

We'd like to present two recent papers outlining the reference deployment of how Sun Web Server is deployed -
1. A paper has been published describing how blogs.sun.com (Sun Blogs infrastructure) uses Sun Java System Web Server 7.0.

2. It's also worth looking at an older article detailing how forums.sun.com  uses Sun Java System Web Server 7.0.

Cheers.

Open Sourcing Sun Web Stack, Web Server, Web Proxy Server

Wednesday Jul 23, 2008

Today at OSCON Sun announced many things that I think are cool, but two of them have special value to me.

1.  We
   are open sourcing the core functionality of our Web Server (known
   variously as Sun Java System Web Server, Sun ONE Web Server, iPlanet
   Web Server, Netscape Enterprise Server) and our Web proxy Server (known
   by the same various brands as our Web Server). The code will be under
   the BSD license providing the maximum possible portability of the
   project, and  will bring Sun more fully into the open source HTTP
   server community. This will happen on the OpenSolaris Web Stack
   community sometime in CYQ3 2008.
   


2. Sun will be offering
   production support for the *AMP stack on Solaris, OpenSolaris, and
   various Linux flavors. The Sun Web Stack will be a product of the
   OpenSolaris Web Stack community and a continuation of the work already
   released as Cool Stack. Support wilol be available in CYQ3 2008.
   

Exciting times around the ol' Web Tier water dispenser.
