GlassFish is an application server project by Sun Microsystems for the Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) platform. Sun is selling this as the Sun Java System Application Server 9.x. GlassFish is based on source code donated by Sun and Oracle Corporation's TopLink persistence system. It uses a derivative of Apache Tomcat as the servlet container for serving Web content, with an added component called Grizzly which uses Java NIO for scalability and speed. GlassFish is free software, dual-licensed under two free software licences: the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL) and the GNU General Public License (GPL) with the classpath exception.    [edit]

      Tomcat and Beyond...
      aarti

      While there are indeed several advantages to using GlassFish vs. Tomcat, it's probably useful to know that Sun is the original creator of Tomcat and that any application running today on Tomcat should run just fine (no modification whatsoever) on GlassFish.
