Other variations from previous years include MySQL Sunday - the Sessions include presentations by Edward Screven, Tomas Ulin and Marten Mickos - the co-location with Oracle Develop - the same ticket will get you in both events - and free admission for students.

On the GlassFish side there are plenty of activities, from Hands-on-Labs, to technical sessions. Harpreet put together a cheat-sheet for all GF-related events; that is two pages full of events... starting with the Community Event and Party (Event: S319368).

There is more information on JavaOne on many channels, includingTwitter (JavaOneConf and #javaone10), FaceBook (JavaOne and ILoveJava), and Blogs (OTN, Develop, and other) and videos like Jerome's and Preview TechCast.

Finally, don't forget that GlassFish 3.1 M5 will be available next week (see 3.1 posts). Enjoy!

WebStack 1.5 — Your (L)AMP Stack

Июль 30th, 2009

Sun's LAMP support is assembled from two pieces: the L is from our Linux/GNU Support (see GlassFish WebStack, which, in its latest incarnation includes Apache HTTP Server, lighttpd, memcached, MySQL, PHP, Python, Ruby, Squid, Tomcat, GlassFish (v2.1) and Hudson.

The inclusion of Hudson is a bit of an opportunistic move (more on that in a bit), the rest comprises a well tested, integrated, optimized, and extended component stack for your new and old Web Apps.

The WebStack can be downloaded here; the bundle includes the WebStack Enterprise Manager, which, unlike the other components, is not free right-to-use but rather is available with an eval license; this is a model like that of the GlassFish Enterprise Manager. The current release supports RHEL, Solaris and OpenSolaris (it is bundled in OpenSolaris); for additional details, check out the Documentation and Discussion Forum.
