One good way to share production experiences with the rest of the
GlassFish
community is to participate in the "Stories" blog (
http://blogs.sun.com/stories
).
It's as simple as replying to a set of questions.
rwillie6 (and others), feel free to send an email to stories @
sun.com. We have
nice thank-you gift for now.
