Re: [glassfish-dev] Glassfish Jakarta EE9 - No Docker images!?

Hello Arjan,

thanks for your response.

I did some short testing with the Dockerfile you mentioned (https://github.com/arjantijms/glassfish-docker/blob/main/Dockerfile) but I failed  - I think because of the missing Microprofile parts...

I guess your answer will be that is that Microprofile and Glassfish are different things ;-) Sure, but how can we improve the situation for new developers who want to test Jakarta EE 9? In my eyes this is an unsatisfactory situation now that they can't find a Docker image.

It looks to me that Wildfly wildfly-preview-26.0.0-final is currently the only runtime providing the new namespaces and delivering all the promised features (including microprofile 3.2). But also Wildfly is not offering a Docker Image for the preview version.

To be clear, I don't blame you or the Glassfish project here. I just want to point out that the situation is really strange. You all did so much great work behind the scene. But for nearly one year now we (the normal Jakarta EE developers who are migrating there Java EE projects) have no chance to get a working Jakarta EE 9 Docker image out of the box.

I have migrated my own open source workflow engine to Jakarta EE 9 a half year ago (https://github.com/imixs/imixs-workflow/releases/tag/imixs-workflow-6.0.0), but I still can't promote it because there are no official Docker based runtimes available.

You mentioned that EE 9 is just an intermediate version. But what did this mean? Will it take much more time now until 9.1 is available? Or will be version 10 the goal? It doesn't make sense to push the specification if there are no runtime environments available.

Why I'm riding around on it has the following practical reason. I am currently in a larger enterprise project in which the question is asked whether microservices should be developed with SpringBoot or with Jakarta EE. What would you advise here? Go ahead with Jakarta EE 8 (meaning Java EE8)?


Best regards

Ralph

Hi,

We had this issue indeed on the radar, see https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/glassfish/issues/22598 There's also this btw, that was more recently updated: https://hub.docker.com/u/ee4jglassfish, but now only contains the CI image.

I'm not sure who has access to https://hub.docker.com/_/glassfish That would be a good step to find out. We did had a contribution for an actual Docker image, see https://github.com/arjantijms/glassfish-docker/blob/main/Dockerfile I guess we just need to get that image at https://hub.docker.com/_/glassfish.

Ed, Ivar, do you know who has access to this?

p.s.

Regarding the promotion of EE 9; EE 9 is mostly intended as an intermediate version to prepare tool vendors.

Kind regards,
Arjan

Hello,

I wonder why there is no Docker image for Glassfish available? Docker makes it more convenient for users to get started. The official Docker repo is totally outdated (https://hub.docker.com/_/glassfish).

Ok, there are Jakarta EE8 images from Payara and Wildfly available, but still only for Jakarta 8 and nothing working with Jakarta EE9 (including JAX-RS and EJBs)

Within the Eclipse Jakarta EE project ther is one version after the other being discussed - we are already at Jakarta EE 10 - but there is still no official server for Jakarta EE9 available. If Payara and Wildfly are for what reason ever not allowed to publish Jakarta EE9 Severs on Docker Hub than at least a Glassfish Server would be great.

If you want to start a new Project with Jakarta EE9 you have no official Docker Image at all. Why?? It looks like the community wants to do everything to ensure that Jakarta 9 does not establish itself as a new platform.

What is your opinion about this situation?


p.s:

The only way I solved this for my current dev project, is building my own Jakarta EE9 Docker image by downloading the wildfly-preview-26.0.0.Final :
