Java EE6 with Glassfish 3

Last night I attended a presentation at JAX 2010 which included a brief overview of Glassfish 3 and JEE 6.

I was pleased to see the use of facelets and XHTML files as the standard view to use with JSF 2, as that makes so much more sense than trying to use JSPs.

The "deploy on save" integration with the IDE during development was impressive. It used to be a real pain developing code to be deployed into an application server, compiling, generating the WAR(s), generating the EAR, deploying the EAR into the application server could take minutes.
