GlassFish Server Open Source Edition is the industry’s first application server that supports Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 6 (the Java EE 6 platform) and is built on a modular, flexible runtime based on the OSGi standard.

With GlassFish Server Open Source Edition v3, organizations can create and deploy Web applications with the lightweight Java EE 6 Web Profile and easily leverage the power of the full Java EE 6 platform for enterprise applications.

Developers also benefit from the simplified programming model and productivity improvements offered by Java EE 6. The result is a flexible platform that can apply only what is needed to address the business problem, thereby reducing cost and complexity.

Because GlassFish v3 uses a microkernel architecture based on OSGi, developers can begin with the Java EE 6 Web Profile and use the Update Center to dynamically upgrade to the full Java EE 6 platform!

GlassFish Open Source Edition v3 also features alignment with NetBeans 6.8 and Eclipse 3.5.1, scripting support including JRuby/Ruby, Groovy/Grails, Jython/Django, Scala/Lift, PHP and server-side Javascript, an easy-to-use Admin Console and Update Center connectivity.

Take GlassFish for a spin to see how useful it can be for you!
