I've read about GlassFish and supporting J2EE 5, but I'm still unclear how it all fits together.

How are GlassFish and System Application Server Platform Edition 9 related?
Whats the difference between them?

What does each do and are they both required?


Sorry for all the questions. I'm a recent college grad, but I need to get up and going quickly.

Thanks,

Larry Eisenstein

Glassfish is the community implementation of a J2EE application server. It is hosted (along with many other good projects) at java.net - boomark this site! Sun Java System Application Server is Sun's offering built on top of Glassfish adding their own added value services.

This page at Sun explains it well.
