J5EE + SJS Application Server PE 9

Hey guys,

I really appreciate your work for FreeBSD and Java
integration. But I  
am planning to develop as soon as possible with the new
upcoming  
release of Java Enterprise Edition J5EE. And I will need a
Java  
application server in conjunction with the new J5EE.  So, it
is now  
in development and will be released in fall this year.

I prefer UNIX and not Linux, but unfortunately I am
considering to  
change my server to a Linux distribution, because its
supported by  
Sun directly. I heard that the FreeBSD project has now an
agreement  
with Sun to ship Java native to FreeBSD.

My simple question would be: How long would it take to get
native  
access to J5EE and the SJS Application Server (Glassfish)
for FreeBSD  
if it released!

Thanks,

Martin.

Assuming Glassfish is pure Java, you should be able to use
the latest 
beta today. Alternatively, you could use ports/java/jboss4
for an 
application server with support for JEE 1.5.

Cheers,

I actually tried installing the Linux version (a binary) of
Glassfish 
from the site after reading this yesterday (with the -fc3
Linux 
emulation)... I could get the installer to run after
supplying the 
-javaHome switch, but then it dies with something along the
lines of:

  Media spanning not enabled in
com.sun.wizard.somethingorother.FreeBSDMedia

So its still picking up FreeBSD from somewhere (this was run
from a 
/compat/.../bin/sh shell). If I had to guess the installer
error 
indicates a strictness of the installer app and not a
limitation of 
FreeBSD, I would have thought the pure Java components would
run fine, 
if you can get them from an existing installation perhaps.
But other 
than that, I'm using EJB3 with JBoss 4.0.4RC1 on an i386
machine and I 
haven't had any problems with the Diablo JDK. I haven't
managed to get 
the Diablo JDK running on my AMD64 server yet unfort, so the
compiled 
port is still on there.

Cheers
Joe
