7.0.3

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 7.0.3 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 various bug fixes for things like a StackOverflow exception, a deployment error, and creating JavaMail sessions using the admin console. Additionally components have been updated for Faces, Messaging, Persistence, and (MP) Config. Support for newer JDK versions has been solidified by a new HK2 release and ASM 9.5 integration.
