The document discusses how Glassfish is a hacker-friendly Java EE platform that is fast to start with and has a low footprint, making it highly hackable. It describes how the author used Glassfish along with Hazelcast DataGrid and a JMS wrapper to create a JMS broker backed by a data grid in just one rainy Saturday by taking advantage of Glassfish's modular architecture and Java EE standards.
