Carla Mott's Blog: November 2005 Archive

During much of his career here at Sun, I've had the pleasure of working with Jerome on several projects. He is a Sun veteran with more than 9 years in Java Software. Jerome started in 1996 to work on the JavaBeans team then moved on to create the Java Plug-in. After a few more years in Java SE, he moved to Java EE land, where he helped with the verifier for J2EE 1.3. He then architectured the AVK before moving into deployment area and finally web services for J2EE 1.4. During Java EE 5 development, he participated in the Ease of Development designs and continued leading the web services implementation in Glassfish while lobbying for the Mac OS X support.

You may have seen his posts on the forums and the GlassFish aliases or seen him speak at several JavaOne conferences or read one of his blogs. I'm excited to be working closely with Jerome again.

Thanks to Abhijit Kumar for his work as project lead while getting GlassFish over to open source and good luck in the field of technical managment.

Review drafts of GlassFish documentation

Posted by carlavmott on November 21, 2005 at 03:23 PM | Permalink | Comments (0)

The GlassFish documentation set has many books to help users understand how to use and manage the server. Many of those documents are now on the GlassFish project in draft form. The Developer's Guide, Application Deployment Guide and the Troubleshooting Guide are just a few. See the documentation page for the full list of documents now available and how to participate.

The docs are in an unfinished state and in some cases have missing sections however, because they are based on the previous version of the application server there is quite alot of content.

All feedback is welcome and specifically we'd love to get simple examples to add to the docs.

GlassFish support in NetBeans

Posted by carlavmott on November 17, 2005 at 05:33 PM | Permalink | Comments (2)

Netbeans support for Java EE 5 features is under way and it's easier to run on GlassFish. Builds of the Netbeans.next release are available now and contain annotation support, persistence support, Derby database integration, GlassFish resource creation and registration as well as all NetBeans 5.0 features.

To help you get started there are a couple of tutorials. One is a simple hello world application and the other a more advanced enterprise application using Java EE 5 persistence. See the GlassFish and Netbeans Integration page for more details
