Windows Service for GlassFish
Over at The Aquarium, Arun Gupta reports on a Windows Service for GlassFish: "GlassFish can be installed on a variety of platforms - Solaris Sparc, Solaris X86, Windows, Linux, and MacOS.

JSR-301 (Portlet Bridge Specification for JSF) in Second Early Draft Review
JSR-301, the Portlet Bridge Specification for JSF, is now in its second early draft review. This JSR defines the semantics of a JSR 168/JSR 286 portlet that proxies for JSF artifacts. Currently several open-source projects JSF/Portlet bridge functionality, and differ too much to offer interoperability. The purpose of this specification is to standardize the behavior of these bridge implementations to ensure true interoperability for JSF artifacts. The review closes on September 10.
