The document discusses a customer's experience using GlassFish application server in their projects. It summarizes that GlassFish versions 2-3.1 were used in most Java EE projects and provided a good, stable technology with helpful community support. Features like IDE integration, small footprint, and extensive documentation and monitoring worked well.
