GlassFish v2 hit beta candidate: What's new in the WebContainer
Posted by jfarcand on January 25, 2007 at 07:57 AM | Comments (3)
GlassFish v2 just hit beta candidate (the beta release date is Feb 26th) and I'm taking the opportunity to describe a couple of new features we have added for that release: - Grizzly now support Comet processing (here and here). Comet is a programming technique that enables web servers to send data to the client without the client needing to request it.
- Improved Virtual Server (Host) support (here and here)
- Greater flexibility in configuring your web application's class path (here)
- Supports for Eclipse's JDT Compiler (here)
- JSP compilation with JSR 199 (here)
- Apache AJP official support (here, here and here)
- Extending the Web Container (here)
- JRuby On Rail supports via Grizzly (here)
- WebDAV and CGI support (here and here)
- HTTP Compression support (here)
- SSL support now use NIO non blocking (here)
- Port Unification (here and here)
- New Support for Virtual Directory Mappings (here)
- (near) Zero (re-)Deployment Time for JSF (here)
- JSF RI Performance/Scalability (here)
I'm sure I probably forgot some, but that's a good start. If you have free time, just try the beta and file bugs!

I don't see anything about the beta on the Glassfish page, or the downloads. Are you referring to b33 (V2 M4)?

Yes, b33 == v2 M4 == beta candidate. I can't speak for other component, but this build is quite stable when testing the WebContainer.
