Happy Birthday GlassFish!
(hires)
There's another milestone birthday for another fantastic piece of technology: Glassfish just turned 5! Eduardo did a "birthday card" entry for GlassFish over at the aquarium, but he didn't include an actual birthday card. So I figured I had to make one up :-) If you're wedded to other app servers like JBoss or Tomcat, you owe it to yourself to take Glassfish out for a swim. It's another sweet piece of work from Sun.

It's nice if it was written in JavaFX with a little F/X. Maybe it looks like an item of Harry Potter, but.

I attempted to sell glassfish and customers would say we don't need another application server. In my mind, I was thinking glassfish is so easy, how can application servers be complicated to support and worry over the introduction of glassfish. Now that I'm selling the strategic weblogic server, I know understand. I now understand complicated software as well.

I work in hell, well a company that uses the Oracle SOA suite to be more precise. I particularly love how I start up a weblogic server with the 'soa' application deployed in it and nothing else, I'm looking at 750Mb of RAM GONE just like that (after waiting an eternity for it to boot up in the first place). Strangely companies don't seem to take these things into consideration when deciding which JavaEE container to use. I personally can't fathom why you would pay $100K+ for weblogic when you can get a lighter, faster (and probably better) container like glassfish, or tomcat, jetty etc. for FREE? It really is a strange world we live in and i totally GET why you left Oracle.

The reasons for buying products like the SOA suite might be very complicated. The firms in my part of the world face critical resource, estimation and political problems. So when there is a dire need to make money with the help of atrocious managers and frustrated technologists in a very short time we rely on huge support teams. So if we pay for support the buck can be passed to the seller of the product( Pun intended ). So even bad products can get good support :-)
