Glassfish and PostgreSQL
For my current EJB3 project I’m using Glassfish with the (built-in) Derby database. That setup works really well for development.
In production we’re going to use PostgreSQL 8.1, which is one of the most sophisticated and performant open source databases available. Googling for more information about Glassfish and PostgreSQL turned up a couple of good links.
The first is an anonymous blog posting titled Information related to PostgreSQL and Glassfish. It pretty much summarizes how to setup Glassfish with PostgreSQL 8.0 and provides some additional hints.
The second document is a PDF containing the slides from a presentation by Tom Daly, senior performance engineer at Sun. The presentation is full of good hints and tips about Glassfish combined with Derby, PostgreSQL and performance tuning in general. Good stuff to read.
