Sure can. It can run your Java apps and more. The GlassFish application server implements all the latest Java EE 5 technologies. In addition to being OSS, Sun sells it as a supported offering: http://globalspecials.sun.com/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=DisplayPa...

So if "enterprise" means JEE your covered and if it means is it safe for my enterprise, you can be supported.

yes.

you know. tomact is used as enterprise application server in many cases. So is glassfish.

By blaze on Aug. 25, 2008

Yes, sure. Some big company already use GlassFish 2 and Sun active move forward GlassFish V3 as next level Enterprise Application server.

Some production use-cases are discussed here: http://blogs.sun.com/alexismp

Yes! In addition to what the other contributors have said, Glassfish integrates nicely with NetBeans to make J2EE application development and testing almost seamless all from within your IDE. Eclipse has this too, but in my opinion, the Glassfish integration in NetBeans is better (direct access to admin control panel for instance).

The one thing that I have not found is a global consulting group that offers support contracts for Glassfish. IBM has an army of professional services people (IBM Global Services and partners) available to support WebSphere, but with Glassfish you are usually on your own -- "community support" from forums, newsgroups, etc... basically it's do-it-yourself if you need help. I could not find Sun's equivalent to IBM Global Services (e.g. Accenture) that would be able to provide Glassfish consultants and support. Most companies I have seen are much smaller shops. If there are large professional services organizations that offer support contracts for Glassfish, please provide links... Thanks!
