How to install and administer Glassfish

Solution

Installing Glassfish
Glassfish v2 is supported by Automic. To install Glassfish, go to https://glassfish.dev.java.net/downloads/v2.1.1-final.html and choose the version of Glassfish you would like.
For Windows
NOTE: You do need a jdk installed

1. Download glassfish-installer-v2.1.1-windows.jar and place into the C:\ directory
2. Open the command prompt (as admin if necessary)
3. Navigate to C:\
4. Run the command:
       java -Xmx256m -jar filename.jar
This will create the directory C:\Glassfish
5. Navigate to C:\Glassfish
6. Set your PATH variable to your jdk\bin directory using the command:
       set PATH=<path to jdk>\bin
7. Navigate to C:\Glassfish\lib\ant\bin and run the command:
       ant -f C:\glassfish\setup.xml

Starting Glassfish
• ) Be sure that your %PATH% environment variable has the C:\glassfish\bin path somewhere in it
• ) Be sure you've created an environment variable called AS_ADMIN_USER which has the OS user you'd like to be the admin of Glassfish
1) Open the command prompt (as admin if necessary)
2) Navigate to C:\glassfish\bin and execute the command:
       asadmin start-domain domain1
domain1 refers to the domain that will be started (and is a folder name in the domains folder) This may take a few minutes to start
You should now be able to go to <server>:8080
