Hi!
May some kind committer commit the new port:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=215708
It is a port for the Payara Application Service (http://www.payara.fish/)
which is derived from the Glassfish (https://glassfish.java.net/).
Done. May I ask about the difference between glassfish (now at 4.1.2
upstream, 4.1 in the ports), wildfly, jboss and all the other EEs out
there ?
Thank you very much!
As far as I understand, situation with Java EE application servers is following:
Each Java EE application server is emplementation of standards. So,
theoretically,
they should be more or less equal. But, always there are some aspects/features
not covered by standards (like clustering, configuration, deployment procedure, etc).
And these features are implemented in different ways by each application server.
Also, licensing is different (LGPL/GPL/CDDL...).
Also:
- JBoss has no free version anymore, only payed subscription. Its free version
renamed to WildFly.
- Wildfly is evolving very fast, but not always stable and lacks commercial
support (instead JBoss is proposed).
- Glassfish is free and widely used, but Oracle has dropped commercial support
for it and
its feature is not clear for me. Oracle got it from Sun, but they also have
their own
application server - WebLogic which is proprietary. Who knows, will they
support both
Glassfish and WebLogic or just drop Glassfish in few years.
- After Oracle dropped Glassfish commercial support some company created fork named Payara.
It is almost the same as Glassfish, but with commercial support available, some features
added, regular security patches and bugfixes.
I really doubt that there's so much improvement over 110M+ large
distfiles that each of those EE java blobs can bring ?
Wouldn't it be sensible to just fix others instead of re-inventing
the wheel all over ?
For people who activly use these EE technologies, difference between application servers
really matter. I agree with you, it would be nice to have only one Java EE
application server which is free, open-source, the best of the best and fits everyone.
But, I am in doubt this will happen in this century.
