Glassfish in real world

Question

Are there any companies/web-sites that use Glassfish in production? I am new to J2EE and deploy JRuby on Rails alongside a JAX-WS Metro application in Glassfish v3 Prelude. Sometimes the quirks make me go WTF and rip my hair out.

I haven't had experience with Apache Tomcat and was wondering if it makes sense to switch to Tomcat, as Glassfish might not be yet ready for serious development?

For GlassFish in the real world, check out http://blogs.oracle.com/stories.

Here's a couple of quick-hits of JRuby on GlassFish production stories:

• http://blog.linkedin.com/2008/08/19/jdbc-connection-pooling-for-rails-on-glassfish/

Other useful resources:

• http://weblogs.java.net/blog/arungupta/ (Lots of JRuby on GlassFish posts)

Hope this helps
