GlassFish v3 Technical Overview The documentation team is creating an overview document for the Glassfish v3 Application Server doc collection. This document will contain high-level material about the AppServer architecture, users, tools, available docs, relationships to other products and plugins, and so on. At present, this type of material is scattered throughout the product docs, which means that many docs contain versions of the same material. We would like to centralize the general overview material so that action documents can go right in tasks and only the material directly associated with those tasks. Action docs are generally titled "guides." Target Audience The overview doc is aimed at people who have limited experience with J2ee technology, with the concepts of an application server, or with the concepts of this particular application server. People thinking of trying GlassFish. People thinking of buying the supported Sun Java Application Server product. Executives. System integrators. Your dad. Purpose of This Page The purpose of this page is to identify the document content.
- Identify material from existing AppServer docs that might better be contained in a single overview, where all docs can point to it
- Suggest additional material that would be useful in such a product overview.
- Write material to add to the overview.
This doc is not a catch-all for material that doesn't seem to belong anywhere else. Material must be high-level and apply to the Application Server as a whole. Public links to good high-level product information on a topic are welcome.
Technical Overview Contents (proposed) Following is a tentative structure that such a doc could have, with some example topics. The links point to material in the 9.1 docset http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/1343.4: Chapter 1 Introducing the Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server
