GlassFish Server provides a lightweight, modular server for the development of Java
Platform Enterprise Edition (Java EE) 8 applications. It is the Reference
Implementation for Java EE. It delivers a highly productive platform for developing
with the latest Java EE technologies.
What's New in the GlassFish Server 5.0 Release?
GlassFish is the Reference Implementation for Java EE. Java EE 8 introduces the JSON
Binding API (JSON-B) for mapping between JSON text and Java objects, building on
the JSON Processing API (JSON-P). Servlet has been enhanced with the addition of
support for the new HTTP/2 protocol. JAX-RS adds support for server-sent events
and, building on concurrency facilities added in Java SE 8, a reactive client API. The
new Java EE Security API provides enhanced support for authentication and
authorization in web modules, and also introduces APIs for access to identity stores.
The Bean Validation facility is updated to reflect enhancements made in Java SE 8 and
to extend the range of validated objects.
