Blogging Roller

I've been playing with Glassfish and the Java Web Services Dev. Pack (JWSDP)  this week, hoping to learn what's new in WS-* land. But, of course, as soon as I saw the wonderful Glassfish admin UI, I just couldn't resist trying to get Roller up and running. I figured it would be easy.

In the past, we've had problems with Glassfish because it didn't include a JDBC security realm, but we recently switched Roller over to Acegi security so we don't need a security realm anymore. No joy -- right now Acegi doesn't work on Glassfish (and I'm using Glassfish b32, the very latest build).

Amy Roh is working a different angle. Glassfish now has an experimental JDBC security realm and she's trying to get Roller 2.0 (pre-Acegi) working with that. She's running in to problems too.

Roller's a pretty good app server smoke test, eh? I hope we can get both of these issues resolved before final Glassfish.

Update: the Glassfish/Acegi problem has been marked as fixed in Glassfish CVS. Maybe it'll be in build 38?
