In this state of the union GlassFish session, you'll hear about where the community stands, how it's evolving towards a complete middleware solution encompassing a production-ready Java EE application server, a JBI infrastructure for SOA-based deployments and a complete identity infrastructure solution ranging from an LDAP server to an SSO and Federation product.
In addition to listening to engineers telling you about their product, you may want to listen to people who have actually, used and deployed using GlassFish. Production uses of the technology are showing up rapidly and a few of them are being highlighted on the "Stories" blog (http://blogs.sun.com/stories).

You'll hear about what makes the GlassFish Application Server unique in the Open Source Java EE space and understand how to get started with both version 1 and version 2 beta. Version 1 of the GlassFish Application Server was released in May 2006 with an Update Release (UR) 1 in December 2006. This is the current stable release implementing all of the Java EE 5 features and more.
Version 2 of GlassFish is currently in beta with exciting new technologies such as a new JAX-WS 2.1 stack, the WSIT (Web Services Interoperability Technology) extension for Microsoft interoperability using WS-* standards, and a complete set of clustering features. These features include dynamic clustering (Project "Shoal"), load balancing for various paths such HTTP(s) or IIOP, as well as memory of HADB-based data replication. GlassFish v2 also provides the integrated OpenESB 2.0 runtime for JBI-based development.
GlassFish v2 also features a new concept of "profiles" making the developer experience much simpler with a single download, an Update Center making notifications and installation for updates much easier than before, a new and improved Grizzly framework, a new JSF/AJAX-based administration console, an upgrade tool and more.
This is also your chance to come and talk to the architects and experts from the JAX-WS, JAXB, WSIT, JPA, EJB, JSF, Grizzly teams and get involved in the GlassFish community as a user or a contributor.
While there are no two identical uses of the GlassFish technologies, this talk will feature three different deployment stories using GlassFish. It will discuss the architectural choices made with technologies such as various JPA implementations, distributed caching technologies, Spring integration, and so on. You will also hear about the interaction with the GlassFish community from the actual users themselves from the time they select a product to the time they put it their architecture into production.
