The Performance Tuning Guide describes how to get the best performance with GlassFish Server 3.1.2.
This preface contains information about and conventions for the entire Oracle GlassFish Server (GlassFish Server) documentation set.
GlassFish Server 3.1.2 is developed through the GlassFish project open-source community at http://glassfish.java.net/. The GlassFish project provides a structured process for developing the GlassFish Server platform that makes the new features of the Java EE platform available faster, while maintaining the most important feature of Java EE: compatibility. It enables Java developers to access the GlassFish Server source code and to contribute to the development of the GlassFish Server. The GlassFish project is designed to encourage communication between Oracle engineers and the community.
