GlassFish V3 Prelude Update Tool

Bonjour, comment Java?

GlassFish V3 Prelude development is in full speed. Yesterday, I was happily surprised by the ease of use of the GlassFish Update Center... For some reasons (installing iTunes 8.0 and QuickTime), I had to reboot my MacBookPro, and on reboot, I noticed a nice "Update Tool Notifier" on my desktop:

Woa...Nice...So I clicked on it, (expecting for a failure as GlassFish V3 Prelude is still under development), and the GlassFish Update Center tool showed up:

Nice, very nice: I had GlassFish V3 Build 21 installed, and the Update Tool was showing some updates for the newest Build 23....As you can see, some components are bigger, some others are smaller. So I clicked on the Update button and the download process of the components started:

After 30 seconds of download and installation time, I was ready to play with the latest GlassFish V3 Prelude bits...This was a very pleasant experience...
Good job Update Tool team!

PHP talk at a Java conference?

Posted by ludo on June 20, 2008 at 08:58 AM | Permalink | Comments (2)

Bonjour,

Next week, I'll be in Zurich for the Jazoon conference with the GlassFish crew. This is a Java conference, and I'll be talking about....PHP and OpenSolaris and the OpenSolaris WebStack (Apache, MySQL, PHP,...). What!!! PHP at a Java conference? Am I crazy?

I hope not. OpenSolaris 2008.05 is not your father's Solaris. It is something I can use and it comes with a modern AMP stack. So what is the relationship with Java then? Well, since I am a GlassFish developer (and NetBeans developer, and Eclipse developer), I'll be talking about the possible integrations of the AMP stack and GlassFish:
  • Configuring the OpenSolaris Apache and GlassFish with mod_jk to have parts of your Apache web site served with GlassFish
  • Configuring the PHP-Java Bridge on OpenSolaris to extend your PHP applications with 'legacy calls' to Java processing performed under GlassFish
  • Using daily builds of NetBeans 6.5 that have killer support for:
    • Editing and debugging JavaScript
    • Creating PHP project, editing and debugging PHP files with the OpenSolaris AMP stack. Yeahhh! NetBeans can do PHP!
    • Adding jMaki Ajax snippets into PHP projects
    • Using GlassFish V2 and V3 (V3 plugin is *now* part of the NetBeans 6.5 builds) Java EE project to demonstrate the PHP-Java interoperability
Jazoon   And on Monday, we will host a Jazoon GlassFish day, so if you are around, please stop by and ask as many crazy questions you want. The GlassFish team will be there and well represented. Thanks Alexis for organizing this GlassFish day.

Next stop will be Ajaccio and Britany, but definitely not for work:-)
