Sun, Ubuntu Cross-Certify for JEE5 Server Deployment
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Thu 9th Nov 2006 23:19 UTC
Java Back in May at JavaOne, Sun's President Jonathan Schwartz and Canonical Founder and President Mark Shuttleworth - creator of the Ubuntu distribution of GNU/Linux - promised to do a lot of business in the coming months. Their promise is holding quite true six months later. Sun and Canonical revealed Nov. 8 that the open-source Java Enterprise Edition 5 application server (specifically, the GlassFish Community reference implementation) is now certified and available to run on Ubuntu Server Edition, which was released on June 1.

Glassfish is posibly the only production ready JEE 5 app server available so far. It is better licensed then JBoss too. Good move from Ubuntu, especially against Red Hat.

Guess I need to stop working on WebSphere and WebLogic......

Saying it is good is one thing, saying that it is the only *production ready* appserver is a big leap.

To be fair, he said it was the only production ready JEE 5 app server. Weblogic and Websphere aren't JEE 5 production yet.

WLS is moving ahead towards JEE 5, and minimally EJB 3 features, but I don't know what the status of Websphere is.

Does glassfish have a portal? I've looked around the site a bit off and on, but don't see one.

Glassfish is an application server. usually portals are specialized "applications" that work in application servers. There are many available, you can check these if you want

or a list
