Hi,
I'd like to share questions we were asked by attendees at our Glassfish
pod during Boston Tech Days. For some, I'd like to get back to the
person with a good answer; for others, it just would be good to know more.
* Is there a way to secure communication between client and service
without having to manually install certificates on systems? Maybe
an API to create certificates or a way to dynamically establish trust?
* Is there a simple way to change the admin user's password using
the Admin Console?
* In reference to the Clusterjsp demo we showed, one attendee asked
what are instances and is there any legitimate use for having a
cluster on a single machine?
* A few persons wanted to see lists of who (companies) are using GF.
We showed them the blogs.sun.com/stores page, but is there a more
comprehensive list?
* Others asked for statistics on the market share of GF compared to
other Application Servers.
* Of course we got the question from quite a few: What is an
application server?
* Why is glassfish named glassfish?
* Does the portal server run on GF?
* Does java.net run on GF?
* One very interested person asked, do you have a sales kit,
promotional material, brochure, fliers, datasheet, etc that I can
take to my management to get them interested in GF?
* Does GF support Ajax?
* Does GF have something comparable to IBM's JAM plugin to support
mainframe updates?
* For load balancing, does GF have a plugin for Apache web server?
