3. GlassFish Downloads

4. Actual Usage

5. GlassFish around you

6. GlassFish around you (really)

7. GlassFish around you (really)

8. If there was only one reason...
... we care about both

9. Introducing
GlassFish v3

10. Modular and Dynamic
• Modular : Apache Felix (OSGi)
• Extensible : HK2
• Yet very Fast !

11. Admin Console

12. Painless Java EE development !
• Java EE development doesn't have to be painful :)
• Incremental compile of all Java EE artifacts
• Auto-deploy of all Java EE and static artifacts

13. Session Retention
• Deployment option to maintain stateful sessions
across re-deployments
$ asadmin redeploy --properties
keepSessions=true myapp.war
• Greatly simplifies the
development paradigm.
• Integrated in NetBeans 6.5 :

14. Yes, Eclipse too !
GlassFish (v2/v3) + Eclipse 3.4 Tools Bundle: http://download.java.net/glassfish/eclipse/

JSR-250, Bean Validation 1.0
• Not decided yet:
> Web Beans 1.0
• Out for now:
> JAX-RS 1.1
• GlassFish v3 to ship in two distributions
> Complete Java EE 6
> Java EE 6 Web distributions

19. GlassFish Embedded
AppServer glassfish = new AppServer(8080);
glassfish.deployWar(warFile);

20. GlassFish Embedded
public class Main {
public static void main (String[] args) {
AppServer glassfish = new AppServer(8080);
glassfish.deployWar(a_useful_app);
}
}

21. GlassFish Embedded
@BeforeClass
public static void setUpClass () {
AppServer glassfish = new AppServer(8080);
glassfish.deployWar(myApplication);
}
@Test
public void pingApplication () {
...
}

22. Extending GlassFish v3
An example
• Extend GlassFish with a Spring container
> using unmodified Spring dm (OSGi)
> simple Spring beans implementing the service
• Invoke the service from a servlet
> using standard @Resource injection
• Never use a GlassFish API !
• No need to chose between Spring and Java EE
• Of course you don't have to use Spring ;)
> Grizzly extensions, plain HK2, ...
