GlassFish V3

GlassFish v3 will supports four types of container :

Standard Web Applications
Ruby on Rails using JRuby 0.9.8
Phobos
PHP using the Quercus engine.

http://wiki.glassfish.java.net/gfwiki/Wiki.jsp?page=GlassFishV3

HK2 for Hundred Kilobytes Kernel is a module subsystem coupled with a simple yet powerful component model to build software.It is the foundation for the GlassFish V3 application server and consist of two technologies :

Clustering

Clustering in GlassFish v2

Clustering in GlassFish Version 2

Memory Replication

Based on JXTA technology and Project Shoal/GMS

GMS (Group Management Service)

Provides dynamic membership information about a cluster and its member instances
Cluster shape change events—

-- Members joining

-- Members shutting down vs. failing

Memory Replication takes appropriate action in response to these events providing continuous and high availability

GMS itself is also based on JXTA technology

Based on Project Shoal— https://shoal.dev.java.net

Needed: an open-source, lighter-weightalternative to HADB

HADB provides high availability for:

-- Http session state

-- Stateful Enterprise JavaBeans™ (EJB™) technology session state

-- Single sign-on state

HADB: still available; still right solution for some problems

-- Enables proven “5–nines” availability

-- More complex to administer

-- Not (currently) open source

Virtual Hosting

virtual hosting features available in GlassFish v2. Virtual hosting enables ISP/ASP business models.

Persistence

GlassFish Java Persistence API implementation is based on code from TopLink contributed by Oracle.

https://glassfish.dev.java.net/javaee5/persistence/

JRuby and GlassFish

GlassFish Goldspike JRuby

Java web applications are typically packaged as WAR files in preparation for distribution and deployment to Java EE servers. It is useful to be able to package Ruby on Rails applications in a similar form, to enable seamless deployment to Java servers.

安装指南

1. Download one of the bundles
2. Run: java -Xmx256m -jar filename.jar
3. cd glassfish
4. Run: ant -f setup.xml

For GlassFish V2 with Clustering supported installation, just change step 4 from the above installation

* ant -f setup-cluster.xml
