GlassFish is an open source Java EE-compatible application server. At the time of writing this book, the latest release of the server is version 3, which provides the fully-featured Java EE 6 and JPA reference implementation. GlassFish is based on the source code released by Sun and Oracle Corporation's TopLink persistence system. It is a fast, easy, and reliable application server.
The Java EE 6 platform significantly improves developer productivity, introduces the lightweight Web Profile for web-centric applications, and includes the latest versions of technologies, such as JavaServer Faces (JSF), Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), Java Persistence API (JPA), Context and Dependency Injection (CDI), and many more.

We have seen here how to set up the GlassFish server from the standalone GlassFish installer. The GlassFish server is also bundled with the NetBeans installer. In that case, it is also possible to install the server during the installation of NetBeans IDE; a separate GlassFish installer will not be required.
