Learn More About Enterprise Server v3 Prelude
As the name suggests, the release is a prelude to Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3. It is not a
full Java EE 5 application server, and not everything that was implemented in Sun Java System
Application Server 9.1 (GlassFish v2) is implemented and functional in Enterprise Server v3
Prelude. You might be trying to do something that is not possible with the existing feature set.
