Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v2.1.1 |
Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v2.1.1 provides a Java EE compatible server for the development and deployment of Java EE applications and Java Web Services. Key features include scalable transaction management, container-managed persistence runtime, performant web services, clustering, high availability, security, and integration capabilities.
This page contains the following topics:
Java EE 5 platform support: Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v2.1.1 complies fully with the latest Java EE 5 specification to deliver one of the best application runtimes for next-generation enterprise applications and web services. Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v2.1.1 implements and extends the following Java EE standards:
Web Services Interoperability Technologies (WSIT)
Support
Sun is working closely with Microsoft to ensure interoperability of Web
services enterprise technologies such as message optimization, reliable
messaging, and security. The initial release of WSIT
is a product of this joint effort. WSIT is an implementation of a
number of open web services specifications to support enterprise
features. In addition to message optimization, reliable messaging, and
security, WSIT includes a bootstrapping and configuration technology.
Starting with the
core XML support currently built into the Java platform, WSIT uses or
extends existing features and adds new support for interoperable web
services, including:
Java Business Integration (JBI) Support
JBI extends Java EE with business integration Service Provider
Interfaces (SPI). These SPI enable developers to create or implement a
Java business integration environment for specifications such as WSCI,
BPEL4WS and
the W3C Choreography Working Group. A JBI implementation is installed
directly by the installer, mostly in the install_dir/jbi
directory. This directory contains all common JAR files and system
components for the JBI including a lifecycle
module that
starts the JBI framework in the JVM.
In-Memory Replication Support
In-memory replication on other servers provides lightweight storage of
session state data without the need to obtain a separate database, such
as HADB. This type of replication uses memory on other servers for high
availability storage of HTTP session and stateful session bean data.
Clustered server instances replicate session state in a ring of
topology. Each backup instance stores the replicated data in memory.
Replication of session state data in memory on other
servers enables sessions to be distributed. The use of in-memory
replication requires the Group Management Service (GMS) to be enabled.
Usage Profiles Support
Every administrative domain is associated with a usage profile which
identifies the capabilities of
that domain. Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v2.1.1 provides the
following
profiles:
Open Source and GlassFish Community
In June 2005, Sun launched the GlassFish community
with the goal of developing a free, open source, commercial-grade
application server that implements the newest
features of the Java EE 5 platform and related enterprise technologies.
Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v2.1.1 is based on the source code
developed by Sun
engineers and the GlassFish community.
