We are taking the Grizzly to Brazil for a couple of shows. First, Charlie and I will talk about Grizzly and GlassFish @ FISL 8.0 Free Software Forum (April 12 to April 15). Our talk will cover the new Grizzly 1.5 framework, Grizzly in GlassFish, and some performance comparison with other NIO framework. Sun also have a boot where we gonna talk about GlassFish v2. Next we gonna talk about GlassFish...
Yesterday we did a very open review of the Grizzly framework version 1.5. The meeting was open to everybody. We discussed the current framework classes, the migration from 1.0, some performance improvements, etc. A lot of peoples have called, and the interesting part was that the majority of listeners weren't from Sun. To name a few, we got listeners from Amazon, Sun, Noelios, and student from...
At AjaxWorld 2007 last week both Greg and I demonstrated a JMaki demo which is using Grizzly Comet in GlassFish. The code is available under the JMaki workspace but you can also download the war file from here. Just install GlassFish, enable Comet and deploy the application. The application is simple. When you type a word, the word will be displayed using Flickr photos and shared amongs all Comet...
The Grizzly community is currently discussing the first official release of 1.5.0. We gonna do an extensive architectural review Thursday 03/29. Everybody interested can join the call and influence the future of the animal!
The meeting will start @ 9h00am PST and I will present some slides about the migration between 1.0 and 1.5. If you are interested, just join the Grizzly project and subscribe...
Web Applications that uses Comet Request processing are more an more used with asynchronous clients (AJAX, SOA, GWT, etc.). At AjaxWorld this week, I was surprised to see how many developers attended the two scheduled Comet talks and how many companies already have Comet based application in production. But like with every new technologies, no formal design recommendations have been widely...
If you have the opportunity to go to AjaxWorld 2007 in New York next week, and if you are interested about learning GlassFish and its Grizzly Comet Processing implementation, don't miss the two sessions on Grizzly Comet on Monday, March 19, 2007:2h20-3h05pm: Real-World Web 2.0 Comet-Based Applications4:40-5:25pm: Enterprise Comet - The Real-Time Web.It will be interesting for me to sit and...
This time I will describe how to properly configure Grizzly in GlassFish. The out-of-the-box values are really not appropriate when GlassFish is used in production and can gives extremely bad results. Here is a couple of recommendations to make in domain.xml:First, make sure the -server VM is used instead of client:<jvm-options>-server</jvm-options>
Disable AS Quick Startup:<jvm-...
Recently I've had the opportunity to visit companies that build their product on top of GlassFish Grizzly's Comet API and brainstorm about what improvements we should add to the current Comet API, what limitation, etc. The most interesting idea I got from what I've seen is what I call Asynchronous Comet Processing. But wait, since Comet is already asynchronous, what does that means? Well let's...
