As part of its open source initiative, Sun Microsystems, Inc. (Santa Clara, CA) and the GlassFish community announced a technology preview release of the Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server version 3 and new Sun GlassFish Communications Server.

Sun also announced a GlassFish Partner initiative designed to provide developers, independent software vendors (ISV), and system integrators (SI) with access to a large number of frameworks and applications running on the GlassFish application server.

The technology preview release gives developers the opportunity to try their applications on the modular GlassFish architecture and provide feedback to the community before the specification is finalized. Users can download the GlassFish Enterprise Server V3.

Sun also announced a new initiative, GlassFish Partners, for Sun Partner Advantage Program members designed to connect GlassFish solution providers (developers, ISVs, hosting providers and SIs) to the GlassFish user and developer community.

Sun also announced the new GlassFish Communications Server based on Project SailFin, a GlassFish project to build a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) communications server. Project SailFin is the result of collaboration between Sun and Ericsson that will give developers access to the telecommunications technologies they need to develop next-generation instant messaging, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and shared multimedia applications on the Web.

The GlassFish Communications Server is scheduled to be available after the Java Community Process finalizes the JSR 289 specification, which is expected in Q3 2008.

Sun is expanding Project GlassFish with the creation of the GlassFish Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) community to enable the development and collaboration of global services using Java Business Integration (JBI)-based technologies for orchestration and composition of new and existing services.
