GlassFish v3.0 involved implementation the entire Java EE 6 specifications and modularizing the server (using HK2 and OSGi). That was *a lot* and we didn't have the bandwidth to get the clustering features into the mix, hence the comparison between 2.1.1 and 3.0.1.
GlassFish 3.1 is set to release in February (fingers crossed) with full clustering, centralized admin and other features all in the open source edition. That would essentially make the comparison page go away. Nothing is being close sourced here... For the brave or curious out there we're way past hard code freeze so you might want to try a recent promoted build : http://download.java.net/glassfish/3.1/promoted/ or check out some of the clustering-related videos on youtube: http://youtube.com/user/GlassFishVideos hope this helps, -Alexis (GlassFish Team) On 12 janv. 2011, at 21:53, Karsten Silz wrote: > On Jan 12, 9:37 pm, jwmajors81 <[email protected]> wrote: >> I was recently asked to look at WebSphere alternatives for my company and >> was astounded to see that some of the components that used to be completely >> free from Glassfish are now for pay.
