GlassFish 8 Java server boosts data access, concurrency
"In addition, GlassFish 8 embraces the future of concurrency in Java with support for virtual threads in its HTTP thread pools and managed executors, Mihalyi said. Virtual threads support enables the server to handle a massive number of concurrent requests with minimal overhead, leading to significant improvements in scalability and performance for I/O-bound applications. Virtual threads represent a paradigm shift in how to think about concurrent programming, enabling developers to write simpler, more maintainable code that scales effortlessly, Mihalyi added."
"A new version of Jakarta Security provides more flexible authentication options. Its Integration between MicroProfile JWT and Jakarta Security allows more flexibility. Developers can secure REST endpoints with JWT (JSON Web Token) while using other Jakarta Security mechanisms to protect UI pages, providing a comprehensive security solution that adapts to diverse application architectures. Monitoring via JMX (Java Management Extensions) is supported in Embedded Eclipse GlassFish."
