Firstly, thanks that is a welcome update for a couple of big issues.
However I was wondering what has happened to using the update tool to
patch glassfish out of a release cycle. The recent versions don't seem
to have had any updates, whereas I seem to remember out of cycle updates
for older versions of glassfish using the update tool...

Thanks
