"GlassFish getting started & What's new in GlassFish v2" Session

Speakers: Karen (Intro), Eduardo Pelegri-Llopart

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.

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.
