Bonjour,

Next week, I'll be in Zurich for the Jazoon conferenc e 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

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:-)

GlassFish V3 TP2 and NetBeans 6.1

Posted by ludo on May 04, 2008 at 04:18 AM | Permalink | Comments (1)

Bonjour,

GlassFish V3 TP2 is now available. If you want to use it, or even download it from NetBeans 6.1, just fire the IDE, go the tools->plugins menu and refresh the list of modules, you should see 2 modules, one for Java EE development and one for jRuby projects. Just watch the images to see how you can get both the NetBeans modules, and then download the GlassFish V3 TP2 runtime, and see the 2 new libraries registered by the Server: EclipseLink to do JPA entity beans work and Grizzly Comet to do cool Comet Applications...
Most of the Java EE support from NetBeans 6.1 works with GlassFish V3 TP2 (Db to JPA, JPA to JSF, jMaki, Jersey RestFul services,...) and if you are a jRuby on Rails developers, you can now select the GlassFish server as s deployment target for your NetBeans jRoR projects...

Just scroll through the following images, and you'll know everything about this new NetBeans/GlassFish integration:

I'll be also talking for the CommunityOne GlassFish track:

S295418 - Tools for GlassFish V3 (Java EE Platform and Scripting Environment) -- Ludovic Champenois, Vivek Pandey

Of course, GlassFish V2 is available in the OpenSolaris IPS repository:

You can use the Package Manager GUI to download GlassFish V2 in Opensolaris:

GlassFish V3 TP2

Glassfish V3 is the next version after the excellent GlassFish V2...Duhhh...But wait OSGI support, , EJB inside Web Applications (yes, not in EJB Modules), JPA with EclipseLink JPA provider, jRuby on Rails Applications support, Phobos support, Jython/Django, Groovy (with JSF/Groovy support...wait for some killer demos), IPS based update Center, NetBeans support, Eclipse support, ANT support, Embed ability support, sub second startup time, Cometd support (lots of cool demos at JavaOne), Jersey RestFul Web Services support, jMaki support, already really good web performance (thanks Grizzly and Java NIO, thanks!)...

GlassFish V3 TP2 plugin for NetBeans 6.1 (for Web Applications and jRuby On Rails Applications)

NetBeans 6.1 IDE just shipped, but wait.... go the the Update Center, and download the GlassFish V3 TP2 plugins, one for Java EE support, one for the jRuby on Rails projects to get all the incredible Java EE or jRuby developer features that are packed in the IDE with a V3 target... You cannot beat NetBeans 6.1 for Java EE and Ruby features, no way!!!

GlassFish V3 TP2 plugin for Eclipse 3.3

For the Eclipse enthusiasts, GlassFish V3 TP2 server has a plugin as well, so that you can develop Dynamic Web Projects (via WTP) and deploy/debug them with a GlassFish V3 target, including JPA EclipseLink database applications. Or and if you recall GlassFish V3 TP2 is OSGI based, then, you'll understand a bit more this screen showing GlassFish OSGI modules running embedded inside the Eclipse IDE:

GlassFish V3 TP2 running embedded inside Eclipse 3.3

See the list of OSGI bundles in this "About Eclipse" dialog:

jMaki version 1.8: Plugins for NetBeans(JSP, PHP, Ruby, Phobos) and Eclipse (JSP)

The new jMaki plugins for NetBeans 6.1 and Eclipse will show up later this week on the update centers or the https://ajax.dev.java.net site

So, I guess you have now a sense of the crazy days before CommunityOne and JavaOne. Hope to see you there in person next week,

Merci,
Ludo

Eclipse Foundation and GlassFish community

Posted by ludo on March 17, 2008 at 01:21 PM | Permalink | Comments (0)

Bonjour,

I just love it when things are aligned. Today, it is about Eclipse and Sun, or I should say Eclipse Foundation and the GlassFish community.
Read it at http://www.eclipse.org/org/press-release/20080317_Eclipselink.php : EclipseLink will be used in GlassFish V3 Application Server (Java EE 6) and it will be the reference implementation for JPA (Java Persistence API) 2.0.
Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems to be the first press release ever done mentioning those 2 names: Eclipse Foundation and Sun Microsystems. If you are an Eclipse user, I hope you have noticed the *only* company name that is displayed in the Eclipse splash screen. If not, pay attention the next time you see the screen...

As you might know, I've been involved a lot in the J2EE and Java EE support in NetBeans, and honestly, I can tell this is one of the best support you can get for Java EE developers. And I have also been involved in the GlassFish (V1, V2 and V3) plugin for Eclipse as well as the jMaki plugin for Eclipse. It is good to be able to reach as many developers as possible and give them access to one of the best application server out there.

This week, EclipseCon conference is happening in Santa Clara, and Carla Mott and I will be speaking about GlassFish V2, GlassFish V3, jMaki and Eclipse: See http://www.eclipsecon.org/2008/?page=sub/&id=36.
Our talk is Thurday, March 20th at 10:30 am Grand BallRoom F: Eclipse: Enterprise Apps and Rich Front-end using GlassFish and jMaki.

If you are not familiar about the GlassFish Application Server support in Eclipse, please read these pages:

Both the GlassFish plugin and the jMaki plugin are being updated this week (tomorrow?) for a better GlassFish V3 support and a brand new jMaki 1.1 beta support. We are just doing the final testing today.

Enjoy, and as always, feedback is welcome,

Ludo
