GlassFish v2UR1 Ready for production use?

Dear Community,

we are an ISV that, as a benefit to our customers, provides a J2EE
server to our more than 1.000 enterprise customers (more than ten
thousand users). The intention ist both (a) we can rely on a specific
product and have no need to learn how to support a dozen of products (b)
the customer doesn't need to bother with product selection and installation.

We are planning to shift from the current product to GlassFish, and to
switch from J2EE 1.4 to Java EE 5 (i. e. from CMP to JPA). Since all of
our customers have the need of high stability (i. e. as less admin
interventions as possible / we do not talk about high availability,
which would be reached by a lot administration due to doubled servers),
we want to know whether the current stable GlassFish product (v2ur1) is
able to fulfill that needs.

The usage of the current product (JOnAS 4) failed due to too much bugs
and too slow bug fixing by the team (some bugs still exist even after
years). That vendor just didn't understand what "production use in
industrial environment" really means in terms of product quality and
runtime stability.

What is your opinion: Is GlassFish v2ur1 "somewhat" rock solid? Would
you recommend using it for industial manufacturing environments with
guaranteed answering times less one second and up to 100 concurrent
write transactions at each point in time?

Thanks
Markus

YES, I believe it is production ready... Wotif.com (an e-commerce hotel
booking site in Australia) for example has over 10,000 concurrent
sessions. See : http://blogs.sun.com/stories/ for other such stories.

The performance results are also worth mentioning, have you seen the
following spec.org postings?

The GlassFish community as a whole is VERY active, bugs are fixed very
fast, and forums are lively, see:

The reply from wotif.com contains the following http header:

Server: Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 9.0_01

They seem to be not using glassfish v2 but an older version, unless they fake the header lines :)

That is correct. Here's a "TOP 3" difference between the two for your
use case:
1) Improved performance (up to 60% better in some cases).
2) Adds enterprise features such as centralized administration and
clustering
3) Bug fixes over GlassFish V1.

Your question seems quite different from what is being discussed in this
mail thread. Please post a new message.

Well,

first of all you can choose a better suited thread subject, and second
you can describe what your problem is. Otherwise nobody will ever be
able to help you, obviously. :-)

Have Fun
Markus
