Really annoying advertising.
And there is another page on it, too, merge? --Rayc 00:52, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

text: The "highlights" and "demos" sections read like advertisement. Lists of highlights, demos, or selling points are not encyclopedic. The intro paragraph seems much more neutral. --Ginkgo100 talk · e@ 21:36, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

text: I was selecting a Application Server and the stuff declared as "advert/hype" is simply true,  helped me to do the selection, please move it back in. 85.115.15.50 12:43, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

text: I third that, this is not an encyclopedia article as it stands. Far better stuff has been flagged and deleted without discussion. This needs sorting out by someone who can explain what it is, or it needs deleting.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.14.179.93 (talk) 17:00, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Just like GlassFish, then! No-one seems to know what that means or does, either.
It's every bit as much a word as any other verbed noun.  Verbing is a fine tradition streching back to the birth of modern english.  It's meaning should be clear to any native speaker of the language, "to make into a product", just as the word verbing itself means "to make into a verb".

message: :Image:GlassFish logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: There are several versions: GlassFish v3 TP2, GlassFish v3 Preview, GlassFish v3 Prelude... which comes before which? All I know is that alphas come before betas. —Tokek (talk) 04:24, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Could someone clarify the difference amongst these products?
# GlassFish - ?
# GlassFish Application Server - ?
# GlassFish Server Open Source Edition - latest open source
# Oracle GlassFish Server - latest commercial
# Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server - ?
# Sun Java System Application Server - ?
# Sun Java System Web Server - ?
I think I might be missing a few, too. --Zannenzaka (talk) 12:56, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

message: After reading the article, I have no idea what GlassFish actually does. What is its purpose? I see that it is an "open source application server project", but I'm not clear on anything beyond that. Does it help create server applications? Does it help manage them? Does it provide a specific service? Is it an end application or a framework? I have no idea after reading this article. -Thunderforge (talk) 14:57, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  But what does it do? 

message: While editing the Payara Server article, I noticed there was very little actual substance to it. Most of the information that would be relevant to the topic is contained on the GlassFish page, from which Payara Server was originally derived from.
If there's no pressing need to keep an individual article around for Payara Server/Cloud, perhaps it could be mentioned on the GlassFish page? There's already a section mentioning the end of Oracle commercial support and the subsequent creation of Payara Server. I'm very new to Wikipedia editing so I want to make sure I'm doing this right lest I accidentally break something, but I believe a merger would be appropriate here.
Note: Payara Server may meet notability requirements, as doing a quick search shows a bunch of installation tutorials, comparisons with GlassFish, etc. However, there's still the issue that there simply isn't much to put on the Payara Server article, so I don't think the article should be necessarily kept around.
Tl;dr: merge Payara Server into GlassFish because the former article contains very little unique information. Perzikbloesem (talk) 01:32, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
