GlassFish
Last edit February 10, 2009
GlassFish
is an open source application server project led by
SunMicrosystems
for the
JavaEnterpriseEdition
platform. The commercial version is called
SunGlassFishEnterpriseServer
.
GlassFish
is free software, dual-licensed under two free software licences: the
CommonDevelopmentAndDistributionLicense
(CDDL) and the
GeneralPublicLicense
(GPL) with the classpath exception.
In version 3,
GlassFish
adds new features to ease migration from
TomCat
to
GlassFish
. The other main new features are around modularity (
GlassFish
v3 Prelude shipped with an
ApacheFelix
OsGi
runtime), startup time (a few seconds), deploy-on-change (provided by
NetBeans
and Eclipse plugins), and
GlassFish
v3 "final" is set to be aligned with the upcoming
JavaEnterpriseEditionSix
release.
