How Do I Add Containers?

Enterprise Server has a highly modular architecture that enables you to add new types of containers that handle many application types, not just Java EE. Enterprise Server defines a service provider interface (SPI), which container developers implement. The Enterprise Server framework then invokes the container's implementation of the SPI to detect, deploy, and manage applications of the new type.

For more information, see Chapter 6, Adding Container Capabilities, in Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 Prelude Add-On Component Development Guide.

Web applications are the only Java EE application type supported by Enterprise Server v3 Prelude.
