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 and JDK 21.
GlassFish 7.0.24 is a final release, containing final Jakarta EE 10 APIs. It compiles and runs on JDK 11 to JDK 24. MicroProfile support requires JDK 17 or higher.
This release marks an important step forward by introducing support for JDK 24 in GlassFish 7 — a capability that had previously only been available in milestone builds of GlassFish 8. Achieving this required new versions of CORBA, ORB, and PFL, the result of many months of dedicated work by the team.
The team also undertook a significant revision of how scripts are used across the project. All Linux scripts now consistently use Bash, and a unified method has been adopted for resolving the AS_INSTALL path across all platforms. Additionally, an issue on Windows related to the %t placeholder—used in JDK log formatting—was resolved by ensuring it is properly escaped.
Faster Deployment was achieved by improved file handling; the team replaced custom file discovery with Files.walkFileTree and switched from URI to Path, also adopting try-with-resources for better resource management. On Windows 11, deployment time for specifically selected huge applications dropped from 110s to 100s, with potential for 92s using caching. YourKit profiling showed a 19s improvement in FileSystem.hasBooleanAttributes.

The key feature for this release is making SSH nodes work on the Windows operating system, and while at it improve the way they work on Linux. The team mainly focussed on this work, and a lot of effort went into it. We’re really happy to have achieved the goal to have it fully working. Next to that some important fixes were done for logging and specifically a regression for the security principal was fixed.

We’re proud to announce that after a lot of research and a lot of work, we were able to squash them all. A special thanks to our users for reporting these and helping us to narrow them down!

We also improved stability again by squashing a number of outstanding bugs.

Aside of that we did a large amount of maintenance for the internal modules nucleus-admin and glassfish, and fixed various issues that were reported by users.

In this summer 2024 release of GlassFish we added several new features. Specifically new is an admin command logger, which logs graphical interactions with the admin UI for usage in scripts. GlassFish now also allows resource references in persistence.xml, and we added a great new feature where we are creating temporary snapshots of the external application libraries during application startup, so any update of these is not longer system dependent. We also did a major refactoring of the aging TLS code and optimized the GJULE logging.

This release we focused on finding and fixing the root cause of several “strange” WebSocket related bugs that we witnessed in the past. We also did a similar thing related to several issues with running apps on the default context root, especially where after authentication redirects happened to another URL.
Furthermore we looked into problems with authentication and SSO in a cluster and did some initial fixes. Handling and processing of logging was looked at once again, something we have been improving a lot step by step through various iterations of releases.
Finally but not least a nasty ConcurrentModificationException was fixed, and a memory leak (via HK2) was solved.

In this release a 10 months long operation to get an internal dependency to the slf4j-api removed finally got to fruition. This involved the intense cooperation of multiple teams, and we’re exceptionally happy to have finally been able to do this.
We also did a lot of work to make our builds repeatable, and we did a ton of refactoring to the internal security packages of GlassFish, making them easier to understand and therefore easier to maintain. Any external code depending on these internal packages (such as potentially custom LoginModules/Realms) may have to update (we recommend of course not depending on internal packages and using public APIs).
As every release, we integrated many component updates, and did a number of smaller fixes.
