eApps Hosting Now Offers the GlassFish Java Application Server in Economical VPS Hosting Plans

NORCROSS, GA, May 16 (MARKET WIRE) --
eApps Hosting announced that the GlassFish Open Source Application Server for
Java
EE 5, from the GlassFish community project, is now available as a click
installable
application service in low cost Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting plans.

The eApps Hosting service has supported Java since 1999, when the company's
Tomcat hosting plans were launched. In 2001 a Java hosting service using JBoss,
a
J2EE compliant Java application server, was offered. Two years later, eApps
Hosting was one of the first providers to offer Tomcat and JBoss in a Virtual
Private Server. The company now offers the Glassfish Java application server
for Java EE 5 in an economical Virtual Private Server using Virtuozzo
virtualization software from Parallels(TM). GlassFish is derived from the Sun
Java
System Application Server Platform Edition 9, donated by Sun Microsystems, and
source code from TopLink, a Java object-to-relational persistence
architecture, donated by Oracle. Program code from GlassFish is used as the
Reference Implementation for the Java EE 5 specification. The close
relationship between the GlassFish community and Sun's Java project ensures that
users of GlassFish will receive standards compliant support for the Java EE 5
specification in a timely manner.

The decision to offer GlassFish was made to further enhance eApps
Hosting'ssupport for Java applications. "Java continues to be the preferred
technology for
mission critical web applications. High end developers have embraced the Java
EE 5 standard and the GlassFish Java application server. With our offering,
these
developers now have a place to deploy their applications," stated Barry
Deutsch, Vice President of Operations for eApps Hosting.
