Hi,
I noticed that Sun Java Application Server 9 has a platform edition available.
(In the Application Server section of the site it appears that latest version with an enterprise release is version 8.1.)
Does anyone know if an enterprise edition is available for version 9? If not yet available, is there a timeline for an enterprise release?
I would like to know the answer as well. However, I think that Sun Java Enterprise System 5 (Sun Java ES 5) has SJAS Enterprise Edition 8.2, not 8.1.
I also wouldn't mind knowing the difference between Enterprise and Platform editions, and whether it's supported to run 9 PE instead of 8.2 EE in an otherwise Java ES 5 installation.
Hi Kay,
The Enterprise Edition of Sun Java Application Server 9 is under development. The latest estimate
for its availability is late September.The open-source version of that release is available as
Glassfish V2, and there is a beta available right now.
You can find more information at our Glassfish site here :

The Platform edition is intended to be run as a single JVM and lacks high availability and cluster
support. The Enterprise edition has full support for clustering, high availabiilty, fail-over, and
load-balancing.You can try out these features by using our Glassfish V2 release.
9 PE would not be supported as an upgrade within any Java Enterprise System release,
since a PE release does not contain all the features of an EE release.Once SJS AS 9 EE
is released it will be included in a future rev of the Java Enterprise System.
