Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAVA) and the GlassFish
community, today announced the immediate availability of Sun
GlassFish(TM) Enterprise Server v3, the latest release of Sun's
commercial Java(TM) Platform Enterprise Edition (Java EE)
application server and its open source counterpart, GlassFish v3.
GlassFish is the industry's most downloaded Java EE compatible
application server, with over 24 million downloads to date. Sun
GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 provides customers with an
enterprise grade, open source based application server solution
focused on reducing application and deployment complexity. Download
and begin development with Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 today

Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 is the industry’s first
application server to support the new Java Platform Enterprise
Edition 6 (Java EE 6). Java EE 6 introduces features to increase
the flexibility of the platform and enable companies to use the
new, lightweight Web Profile, in addition to the full enterprise
platform, to help meet their business requirements. (See related
press release – Sun Microsystems Releases Java Platform Enterprise
Edition 6) With Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3, organizations
can create and deploy modern Web applications with the Java EE 6
Web Profile and easily leverage the power of the full Java EE 6
platform for enterprise applications. Developers also benefit from
the simplified programming model and productivity improvements
offered by Java EE 6, which enable more rapid development and help
to decrease development costs and time-to-market.
“In addition to delivering the tremendous enhancements available
in Java EE 6, Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 provides features
to help improve start-up time and reduce resource utilization plus
fine-grained monitoring capabilities that offer improved
observability for both developers and IT operators. People should
think of GlassFish v3 as a pluggable runtime that can host many
types of containers and enable rapid, iterative development with
multiple programming languages – allowing customers to consolidate
to a single platform/runtime,” said Karen Tegan Padir, vice
president of MySQL and Software Infrastructure at Sun. “Because Sun
GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 is based on open source technology,
customers have more control over their product deployments and
don't have to choose between open source and enterprise features.
GlassFish Enterprise Server offers transparency through the
publicly available roadmap of product requirements and priorities
that is strengthened by external contributions and a vibrant
community.”
Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 is based on a flexible OSGi
runtime, allowing features to be added dynamically, as necessary.
This helps to keep the footprint as small as possible by loading
only the modules required to service deployed applications, helping
to improve startup time and reduce resource utilization. Based on
internal Sun benchmarks, Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 startup
times are over twice as fast as v2 and in the case of the Web
Profile offering, nearly three times faster. Developers can start
with the Web Profile then, using the integrated GlassFish Update
Center, seamlessly move to the complete Java EE 6 platform as they
scale their applications – without sacrificing throughput
performance.
Community Contribution
The release of GlassFish v3 includes many contributions from
Java and open source community members. Contributions came in the
form of leadership from large organizations, bug fixes from
individual contributors and developer evangelical activities. For
example, Oracle delivered the EclipseLink open source Java
persistence solution and Red Hat delivered the reference
implementations for both JSR 303, to standardize a meta-model and
API for JavaBean validation and JSR 299, Contexts and Dependency
Injection for the Java EE platform. Individual community members
helped identify show stopper issues, engaged with module leads,
evangelized GlassFish in many public events and conferences and
provided countless software fixes. The FishCAT (GlassFish Community
Acceptance Tests) program was also extremely active, with
participants making regular contributions and filing bug
reports.
New Monitoring and Management Features
Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 introduces new features to
its management and monitoring capabilities including fine grained
and low overhead monitoring, mod_jk support for service
availability, proactive notification of module updates and the
ability to manage modules and patches through the GlassFish Update
Center.
Flexible, Extensible, Customizable
The flexibility and extensibility of Sun GlassFish Enterprise
Server v3 enables third parties to leverage an embedded API to
create a customized, integrated solution within a single Java
Virtual Machine. Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 administration
is extensible and enables extensions to be exposed through the web
console, Command Line Interface (CLI) and RESTful API
administration facilities. In addition, Sun GlassFish Enterprise
Server v3 provides the ability for OEMs to re-brand the
administration interface, install custom OSGi bundles and leverage
the RESTful administration API for secure, remote programmatic
administration and monitoring.
Developer Tool and Language Support
Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 supports a variety of GUI and
CLI development tools including the NetBeans(TM) Integrated
Development Environment(IDE), Eclipse, IntelliJ, Maven, Ant and
others. NetBeans 6.8 is the first IDE to offer full support for
Java EE 6 (See related press release – Sun Microsystems Releases
NetBeans IDE 6.8) and both the GlassFish Tools Bundle for NetBeans
and for Eclipse have been updated to support the productivity
enhancements and simplified programming model of the Java EE 6
platform. When combined with the NetBeans IDE or Eclipse, Sun
GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 can significantly improve rapid,
iterative development. For example, GlassFish v3 retains HTTP
session data across application deployments, eliminating the need
to repopulate the session data when deploying new code to test.
Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 runs a broad range of Java
and non Java technology-based languages, including JRuby/Rails,
Jython/DJango, Scala/Lift, PHP, server-side JavaScript and
Groovy/Grails. Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 also enables
developers to run Jython and JRuby-based applications natively,
without requiring a Java Servlet container, offering a natural
developer experience with low overhead.
Pricing and Availability
Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 is part of the Sun GlassFish
Portfolio, which is available immediately via a flexible
subscription-based pricing model starting at $999 per server (USD),
making it the most cost-effective solution in the market. To
