thanks for sending your question Niklas,
Yes, patches are for users with a subscription.
The model is described here:
http://blogs.sun.com/alexismp/entry/support_for_glassfish_what_s
Once installed the bits from glassfish.dev.java.net and those from
sun.com/appserver are the same.
Further subtle differences are documented here :
http://wiki.glassfish.java.net/Wiki.jsp?page=FaqGlassFishV2vsSJSAS91
In the specific case of 6774854, the fix in integrated into GlassFish
v2.1 patch 1 (patch 2 is out now btw).
Is a subscription not possible in your case? Access to patches is
included in the lowest service level @ $999 /Server/Year (
http://www.sun.com/software/products/glassfish_portfolio/get_it.jsp
)
hope this helps,
-Alexis
