Adding to Kedar's comment:
- If you think you are going to want to deploy GlassFish into production in the future, deploy GlassFish Enterprise Server (
http://www.sun.com/appserver). Note the bits still say Sun Java System Application Server 9.1. That will be addressed in the next release (date TBD).
- We are looking into a tool to update a GlassFish deployment to a GlassFish Enterprise Server release. That tool simply checks the version you have installed, and updates the license file since that's the only difference from the base bundle. No promises.
- If you download the enterprise bundle, that includes HADB, 3rd party Data Direct JDBC drivers, and NSS keystore support. This bundle is still free to put into production. Buy support when you need it.
