Eclipse GlassFish is an application server, implementing Jakarta EE. This release is corresponding with the Jakarta EE 10 specification, which is a major new feature release. Jakarta EE 10 requires JDK 11 as a minimum, but also works on JDK 17.

GlassFish 7.0.15 is a final release, containing final Jakarta EE 10 APIs. It compiles and runs on JDK 11 to JDK 21. MicroProfile support requires JDK 17 or higher.

Release overview

In this release we updated and thoroughly tested a lot of important components, including Exousia (Security), Mojarra (Faces), Jersey (REST) and Yasson/Parsson (JSON). Testing has been improved by fixing a number of issues within the tests itself. Finally, we fixed a number of errors in the documentation.

8.0.0-M6 Pre-release
Pre-release

Eclipse GlassFish 8 is an application server, implementing Jakarta EE. This release is corresponding with the Jakarta EE 11 M3 specification under development.

glassfish-8

Jakarta EE 11 M3 is the third milestone release of Jakarta EE 11. GlassFish 8 M6 incorporates a subset of this. The final versions of the Security APIs and Jakarta Faces have been added and implemented, while the final Servlet 6.1.0 API has been added but not everything implemented yet. The REST 4.0.0 API has been added as well.

New in M6 are the proposed final APIs of the Wave 6 specs authentication, concurrency, faces and the wave 7 spec security.

8.0.0-M6 also incorporates all changes from the 7.0.x branch.

The following is the full list of Jakarta EE 11 proposed final and M3 APIs included:

API Implementation
jakarta.el-api.version 6.0.0 Expressly 6.0.0-M1
jakarta.annotation-api.version 3.0.0
jakarta.cdi-api.version 4.1.0 Weld 6.0.0.Beta1
jakarta.interceptor-api.version 2.2.0 Weld 6.0.0.Beta1
jakarta.rest-api.version 4.0.0 Jersey 4.0.0-M1
jakarta.servlet-api.version 6.1.0 (internal in GlassFish 8.0.0-M6)
jakarta.pages-api.version 4.0.0 WaSP 4.0.0-M1
jakarta.websocket-api.version 2.2.0 Tyrus 2.2.0-M1
jakarta.authorization-api.version 3.0.0 Exousia 3.0.0-M3
jakarta.authentication-api.version 3.1.0 Epicyro 3.1.0
jakarta.persistence-api.version 3.2.0 EclipseLink 5.0.0-B02
jakarta.validation-api.version 3.1.0 Hibernate Validator 8.0.1.Final
jakarta.security-api.version 4.0.0 Soteria 4.0.0
jakarta.concurrent-api.version 3.1.0 Concurro 3.1.0-M3
jakarta.faces-api.version 4.1.0 Mojarra 4.1.0

JDK 17 is available for the special JDK 17 build, but this build is only intended for TCK purposes.
For the regular version of GlassFish 8, JDK 21 is required as a minimum and the final version of GlassFish 8 is targeted to certify on JDK 21 for Jakarta EE 11.

In this release GlassFish itself compiles, builds and passes the internal tests executed during a build. The Security, Authorization, Authentication and Faces TCK passed completely. The PR verification tests all pass as well.

Being an early access milestone build, this build should obviously only be used for testing. Not all of the updated APIs are truly final and are subject to change. Some of the proposed final APIs are currently in staging and are undergoing a ballot for their final release.

GlassFish 7.0.13 is a final release, containing final Jakarta EE 10 APIs. It compiles and runs on JDK 11 to JDK 21. MicroProfile support requires JDK 17 or higher.

Release overview

In the release for this month we replaced many synchronized blocks by reentrant locks (to accommodate JDK 21 virtual threads). We also looked at SSO between clusters, and fixed a long standing bug there. A long running investigation into potential resource leaks finally came to a conclusion, and resulted in many fixes throughout the code base. The admin console also saw various improvements, specifically with respect to loading.

GlassFish 7.0.12 is a final release, containing final Jakarta EE 10 APIs. It compiles and runs on JDK 11 to JDK 21. MicroProfile support requires JDK 17 or higher.

Release overview

This release we focused on finding and fixing the root cause of several "strange" WebSocket related bugs that we witnessed in the past. We also did a similar thing related to several issues with running apps on the default context root, especially where after authentication redirects happened to another URL. Furthermore we looked into problems with authentication and SSO in a cluster and did some initial fixes. Handling and processing of logging was looked at once again, something we have been improving a lot step by step through various iterations of releases. Finally but not least a nasty ConcurrentModificationException was fixed, and a memory leak (via HK2) was solved.
