</table> <h1>Features and Resources </h1>
<p>GlassFish Server 7 provides a server for the development and
deployment of Java&trade; Platform Enterprise Edition (Java EE)
and dynamic, scalable HTML5 applications. Key features include
Servlet 4.0 to support HTTP/2, support for Java SE 8 and
updates to some important web standards.</p>
<p>This page contains the following topics:</p>
<ul><li><a href="#key-features">Key Features</a></li>

<h2><a name="key-features"></a>Key Features</h2>
<h3>Java EE Support</h3>
<p>GlassFish Server supports Java EE 8, which provides the foundation
for delivering dynamic, scalable HTML5 applications. Java EE 8 augments
support for HTML5 applications by adding support for server-sent events,
standardized binding between JSON text and Java objects, HTTP/2 support
and improvements to the Java API for WebSocket and the Java API for JSON
Processing. Java EE 8 aligns with Java SE 8 so that developers will be
able to take advantage of new features such as repeating annotations,
lambda expressions, the Date/Time API, type annotations, Completable Futures etc.</p>
<p>Java EE 8 and GlassFish Server 7 include the following new and updated Java EE standards:</p>
<dl><dt><b>New or Significant Updates</b></dt><dd><ul>
<li>Java API for JSON Binding (JSON-B) 1.0</li>
<li>Java EE Security 1.0</li>
</ul></dd>
<dt><b>Updated</b></dt><dd><ul>
<li>Java Servlet 4.0</li>
<li>Java API for RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS) 2.1</li>
<li>Java API for JSON Processing (JSON-P) 1.1</li>
<li>Contexts and Dependency Injection for Java EE (CDI) 2.0</li>
<li>Bean Validation (BV) 2.0</li>
