Project SailFin is a subproject under GlassFish. It adds the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) servlet container based on JSR 289 to the GlassFish application server. In addition to the SIP servlet container, SailFin also aims to provide high availability of the SIP servlet container and a loadbalancer for both SIP and HTTP traffic. Given the functionality, the SailFin codebase requires GlassFish as its underlying runtime. The web container from GlassFish and the SIP servlet container become the converged container that is typical of the SIP application servers based on JSR 289.

Using SailFin will allow you to enhance your application with the functionality and reliability of a telecommunications network. Create a better user experience by adding, for example, client presence information (online, busy, mobile-only, PC-only, etc.).

Learn more about how to take advantage of these features by using Ericsson's Service Development Studio.
