Hi, When Oracle outlined their plans for the Sun products, they labeled Glassfish for "departmental use" only. I speculated here on the Posse group that Oracle would take out clustering and high availability support (or not add it back since it wasn't in 3.0) to differentiate the free Glassfish from their "x thousand dollar/CPU core" Weblogic app server.
I'm happy to report I was wrong - high availability and clustering will return to Glassfish with 3.1: http://mediacast.sun.com/users/am74686/media/CommunityUpdate-25Mar2010.pdf All the other app servers (Tomcat, JBoss, Geronimo) have various clustering support, so I'm happy that Glassfish keeps it, too. I'm not a Glassfish user (Tomcat for many years, some Geronimo recently), but this is good news for the Java eco system as a whole. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
