I must say I’ve been fairly anti Sun over the last few years. That’s Sun Micro, not sun (as in the big ball of fire hovering in our daytime sky). After getting burned badly on early versions of NetBeans and Sun Application Server, I shied away from most of the stuff coming out their doors. Eclipse, JBoss, Tomcat, it all just seemed so much better, and easier. But the recent rash (rash is a bad word, maybe heaping) of praise for Glassfish has caused me to take a second look.

Glassfish always seemed to like someones pet project at Sun. An undertaking that looked doomed from the start due to the fact that it was mired in obscurity, had a stupid name, and frankly came from Sun.

JBoss wouldn’t play nice when I tried to deploy a simple session bean as a web service the other day, so maybe I’ll give Glassfish a try. Anyone out there have any experiences with it good or bad?
