Project GlassFish: Building an Open Source Java EE 5 Application Server
TS-3274

The Project GlassFish^SM Community at Java.Net is building an enterprise-quality, Open Source Application Server that implements the new Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) 5 specification. The technology developed by the project is already used in several products from different vendors, including the Sun Java System Application Server 9.0, and is the code base for the Java EE 5 Reference Implementation. The community is led by Sun but it includes corporate and individual contributors and is growing rapidly. In this session we start with a review of the accomplishments of the community including last minute updates. We then cover the main benefits of using the Java EE 5 Platform and those of using the specific implementation from Project GlassFish, and discuss the structure and technical architecture of the project. The session includes a discussion of future directions for the technology, and includes demos of current and future technologies.

This session is intended as a kickoff session to several other Technical Sessions and BOFs on the technologies implemented by Project GlassFish.
