7.0.13

Eclipse GlassFish is an application server, implementing Jakarta EE. This release is corresponding with the Jakarta EE 10 specification, which is a major new feature release. Jakarta EE 10 requires JDK 11 as a minimum, but also works on JDK 17.

GlassFish 7.0.13 is a final release, containing final Jakarta EE 10 APIs. It compiles and runs on JDK 11 to JDK 21. MicroProfile support requires JDK 17 or higher.

Release overview

In the release for this month we replaced many synchronized blocks by reentrant locks (to accommodate JDK 21 virtual threads). We also looked at SSO between clusters, and fixed a long standing bug there. A long running investigation into potential resource leaks finally came to a conclusion, and resulted in many fixes throughout the code base. The admin console also saw various improvements, specifically with respect to loading.
