Hi Steve,

Thanks for starting this effort. This is very useful. I would be
interested to know how well we do with common tasks in GlassFish V2 also.

For example, creating a cluster, setting up loadbalancer for the
cluster, deploying an application to the cluster with high availability,
monitoring the deployed application, debugging the deployed application
in production (logs, etc.), upgrading (rolling upgrade ?) the deployed
application, finding out if JDBC connection pool is working correctly
(are there any connection leaks?), tuning some of the application server
configuration, using a common library in application (classloader
related issues), etc.
