Java EE 5.0 = (J2EE 1.4).next
• Java EE 5 Theme: Ease of Development
• POJO-based programming
> More freedom, fewer requirements
• Extensive use of annotations
> Reduced need for deployment descriptors
> Annotations are the default
• Configure by exception
> Reasonable defaults wherever possible
• Resource Injection
• New APIs and frameworks
> EJB3, JAXB 2, JAX-WS, JSF, ...
Specification Changes in Java EE 5
● JAX-WS 2.0 & JSR 181
● Java Persistence

● EJB 3.0

● JAXB 2.0

● JavaSever Faces 1.2 – new to Platform

● JSP 2.1 – Unification w/ JSF 1.2

● StAX – Pull Parser – new to Platform, JSR 173

“Various Interface21ers, including Costin and Juergen, have
taken a look at GlassFish and given it the thumbs up.”

Rod Johnson, Spring Framework Creator, Feb. 2007 [1]

[1]: blog.interface21.com, Feb. 2007

“... we were seriously stressed when IBM declared war with Geronimo
and then HP got in the game against us too. Red Hat and JOnAS
didn't scare us at all (really – not at all), nor did we worry about
Sun's foray into the market. Oddly enough, of that group only Sun
has managed to mount serious competition to JBoss.”

Marc Fleury, JBoss founder, August 2007 [2]

[2]: news.com, August 2007

“Among major vendors, Sun Microsystems Inc., has dramatically
improved its standing in this year's evaluation of applications
servers for service-oriented architecture (SOA) and business
process management (BPM)”
Forrester Research, August 2007 [3]

Sun and the GlassFish open-source community have delivered the

first production-scale open-source Java EE 5 application server.
This challenges the dominance of market leaders like Red Hat and
IBM.
Gartner, September 2007 [4]

Dynamic Clustering and In-Memory
Replication
• GMS with Project Shoal
> http://shoal.dev.java.net
> Dynamic clusters implemented with JXTA by default
> Extreme ease of use in cluster setup
• Replication
> What?
> HTTP session state
> Stateful EJB session state
> Single Sign-On state
> Container state (timers, ...)
> How?
> Default is In-Memory replication with JXTA
> Can still use HADB for 99.999% uptime (higher perf degradation)
Memory Replication
Typical cluster topology Example: Maximize
Availability on 4 node
cluster on 2 machines

Instance 1 Instance 2

Instance 3 Instance 4

Machine 1 Machine 2
Management Features

Introduction to Grizzly
What Is the Grizzly HTTP Framework?
• Grizzly is a HTTP framework
> Uses lower level Java NIO primitives
> Easy-to-use, high-performance APIs for socket
communications
• Grizzly brings non-blocking sockets to the
HTTP processing layer
• Grizzly integrates with the current Apache Tomcat HTTP
Connector architecture (Coyote)
> Coyote is currently used in Tomcat 3.x/4.x/5.x
• Grizzly replaces Apache Tomcat Coyote HTTP front-end
and thread pool
> Utilizes its high performant buffers and
parsing classes
Web Tier: JSP/Servlet/Grizzly

• Grizzly
> Java-based

Demo
• Grizzly Comet and jMaki: interactive Flickr based Chat
• Comet (request polling):
> Builds on top of Grizzly ARP (Asynchronous Request Process)
> Enables web servers to send data to client without client
request
> Allows creation of event-driven web application which are
hosted in browser
• GlassFish supports Comet
> Enable Coment without restart the server
 Top Link Essentials / JPA
• JPA now a separate JSR
> 1.0 very well accepted
> Does not require a container
• Oracle Contribution to GlassFish
> Fully JPA-compliant and open source
• Very Active Community
> Oracle, Sun, TmaxSoft, independents
> Mail: persistence@glassfish.dev.java.net
• Pluggable (per spec)
> In GlassFish, JEUS, JOnAS, Tomcat, Geronimo, JBoss, Oracle
> Converse is true also: Hibernate & OpenJPA run on GlassFish

Java EE 6 – JSR 316
• Extensibility
> Embrace and support popular frameworks and technologies
developed in external communities
> Layer these technologies cleanly on top of Java EE platform
• Profiles
> Rules for referencing Java EE platform technologies in Java EE
Profiles
> A profile may include a subset of Java EE platform technologies,
additional JCP technologies, or both
• Pruning
> Define process of removing technologies from platform

• Goal is to deliver a final version by the end of 2008

 Java EE 6 – Proposed New JSRs*
• JSF 2.0 (JSR 314)
• JAX-RS (JSR 311)
> RESTful web services
• WebBeans 1.0 (JSR 299) – led by JBoss
• Servlets 3.0 (JSR 315)
• Enterprise Java Beans 3.1
> Singletons, Asynchrony, Concurrency options, ...
> JavaBeans Validation framework (JSR 303)?
• Java Persistence API 2.0
> Criteria API, hierarchies in embeddables
• Java EE Connector 1.6
*The exact set of technologies to be included will be determined by the expert group
GlassFish v3
• Small, Fast, Modular
> Less than 1.0 sec startup
• Totally Modular, kernel is <100K
> Based on a module sub-system: HK2 (Hundred K Kernel)
> Can run in a phone, in a desktop application or in-process
• An ideal Container for Web 2.0
> Java and Scripting applications
> Support for upcoming Java EE 6 profiles
• A container that can do Java EE and more
> Don't think of it as a Java EE 5 container
> A good fit for SOA/ESB solutions
• Decomposition of the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition
(Java EE platform) application server implementation
GlassFish v3 – Work in Progress
• Sample Containers
> Java Web Container
> JRuby (no GoldSpike required)
> PHP (via Quercus)
> JavaScript (via Phobos)
> Whatever you decide!
• Code and documentation available today
• Plans & Roadmap
> Java Web profile likely in 1H2008
New Areas - GlassFish v3
• Modular, OSGi-based
• Lightweight, Fast StartUp, Scalable
• Embeddable and Extensible
• JavaEE 6 and Frameworks
• All JVM-Scripting Languages
• For Developers and Deployers, Education and Research
• New Partnering Opportunities
• From Very small to HA to Communication to Grid
GlassFish v3
• GlassFish, an Open Source application server built on
and with Open Source components :
> Maven 2
> build system
> module description
> Felix
> OSGi module management
> Eclipse Link
> Java Persistence Architecture implementation
• V3 is the third open source release of GlassFish
GlassFish V3 modularity

• Based on a module management runtime

> last year : HK2 homegrown module management
> today we add : OSGi Felix as the underlying module
management runtime.
• Modules are great but let's face it, they do nothing just
being modules !
• V3 innovation :
> allow any type of container to be plugged in.
> start all containers and services on demand yielding an
unmatched startup time for a Java EE server.
> focus on developer (keeping the already numerous
deployer's features).
Services

• GlassFish V3 use extensively Services to identify

extension points like :
> Application Containers (like Web-App, Phobos, Jruby...)
> Administrative Commands
• Services are :
> implementing an interface
> Java SE style with a META-INF/services file
> OSGi style
> HK2
• Can be stateless or statefull
