To install and configure GlassFish you need to have JDK 5 or JDK 6 installed on your system. The configuration processing depends on Ant (1.6.5). The bundle includes an Ant distribution that has been extended with tasks to facilitate developing Java EE 5 applications for the application server.
- Download one of the bundles to disk, set JAVA_HOME to the JDK you have installed on your system.
- Run:
% java -Xmx256m -jar filename.jar
This command will unbundle GlassFish and create a new directory structure rooted under a directory named 'glassfish'.
-
% cd glassfish
- If you are using a machine with an operating system that is a derivative of UNIX(tm), set the execute permission for the Ant binaries that are included with the GlassFish bundle.
% chmod -R +x lib/ant/bin
% lib/ant/bin/ant -f setup.xml
OR for Windows:
% lib/ant/bin/ant -f setup.xml
For GlassFish V2 UR2 with Clustering supported installation, just change step 4 from the above installation
% lib/ant/bin/ant -f setup-cluster.xml
OR for Windows:
% lib/ant/bin/ant -f setup-cluster.xml
Start the server by entering this command: asadmin start-domain domain1
