Developing Web Applications

This chapter describes how web applications are supported in the Oracle GlassFish Server.

The following topics are addressed here:

For general information about web applications, see Part II, The Web Tier, in The Java EE 6 Tutorial.


Note - The Web Profile of the GlassFish Server supports the EJB 3.1 Lite specification, which allows enterprise beans within web applications, among other features. The full GlassFish Server supports the entire EJB 3.1 specification. For details, see JSR 318.
