Grizzly is going to the Zoo

This year is the second year of Grizzly and it has greatly evolved since last time he went to San Francisco. Grizzly started as an HTTP NIO based Framework tied to GlassFish, and it is now been used in several products (SJSAS 8.1 PE, 8.2 PEhttp://weblogs.java.net/mt/mt.cgi?__mode=view&_type=entry&blog_id=258&id=4680&saved_changes=1 (and available in the upcoming 8.2 EE), GlassFish, Tango, Alaska), and also in a couple of not yet released frameworks and products. If you are interested to see Grizzly in action, come to the following Bofs (mais attention, certain mot risque de sonner franglais!):

Session Id: BOF-0520 Session Title: Customizing the Grizzly NIO Framework Track: Core Enterprise Room: Hall E 134 Date: 18-MAY-06 Start Time: 20:30

Session Id: BOF-2116 Session Title: GlassFish^SMProject: an Easy Web Application Development Java Server Track: Web Tier Room: Metro 1 Date: 16-MAY-06 Start Time: 21:30

The BOF will showcase an upcoming Grizzly based micro-kernel (I don't like this word but can't find a better one) for the next generation of GlassFish. We will demonstrate a component based architecture that allow GlassFish to install/download required components and containers and their dependencies only when they are required. Build on top of GlassFish onDemand framework and embedded Maven 2.0, the new architecture will improve Web Application development and deployment.

But there is one demo that you don't want to miss. A very interesting extension will be demonstrated during the Tuesday keynote. Yes, you want more details, but I can't tell more because it is very impressive :-). The demo is so nice that even my 6 years old boys likes it and has suddenly interests in Grizzly!

Finally, Grizzly will be in action every time GlassFish is demonstrated!

• Jean-Francois:

  I am looking to embed a small http server in a java server app i am working on.

  There is a package called com.sun.net.httpserver I was thinking of using but it seems it was removed from the JDK 6.

  Ideally I would like to provide my own thread pool to the embedded server. do u have any suggestions ?

• Apology, I've missed this post (I was at JavaOne). I think the package is back with the latest Mustang release (at least internally). Fro recommendation, you can always build a WebServer on top of Grizzly outside GlassFish, or use Tomcat 6 small connector (which is in the Tomcat sandbox).
