7.0.5

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 7.0.5 is a final release, containing final Jakarta EE 10 APIs. It compiles and runs on JDK 11 to JDK 20. MicroProfile support requires JDK 17 or higher.

Release overview

The main features of this release are a number of important bug fixes such as one in deployment-time recursive bytecode, resetting the security context if a principal has not changed, and several fixes in clustering. These all address actual issues users were having and increase the stability and usefulness of GlassFish. Again several things have been fixed in the admin console such as redirections after a deployment. A new feature in the admin console is asynchronous updates for some values. Jakarta EE components have been updated for Mail, JSON Processing, and REST. Auxiliary components such as Jackson and Commons IO have also been updated to their latest version.
