Starting a J2EE server in less than a second

[Peter von der Ahé]

Perhaps you saw how fast Glassfish can start up at JavaOne:

glassfish_in_le.html

This is very impressive.  I have a feeling that the compiler team can  
play a big role in helping Glassfish achieve the next level: reducing  
the time it takes to get your application from being edited in  
NetBeans to loaded and running within the container.  Said in another  
way: Glassfish now totally rocks for static pages; lets make it rock  
for dynamic pages.

Cheers,
Peter
