Install Oracle Java 7/8
Step1 :- sudo apt-get update
Install python-software-properties
Step2 :- sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
add the new repository and install from Oracle Installer
Step3 :- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
Install Java 7/8
Step4 :- sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
After installing, confirm the current Java is Oracle version
Step5 :- java –version
Install Glassfish 5.1
Get Glassfish Zip file
Step6 :- wget download.java.net/glassfish/5.1/release/glassfish-5.1.zip
Install unzip first before unpackage to /opt
Step7 :- apt-get install unzip
Create the directory /opt and then unzip the package to /opt:
Step8 :- unzip glassfish-5.1.zip -d /opt
For convenience, add export PATH=/opt/glassfish4/bin:$PATH to the end of ~/.profile.
Start the glassfish server:
Step9 :- asadmin start-domain
A domain is a set of one or more Glassfish Server instances managed by one administration server.
Default Glassfish Server’s port number: 8080.
Default administration Server’s port number: 4848.
Administration User name: admin
Password: none.
In order to visit admin page (yourserverid:4848) remotely, you need to enable secure admin:
Step10 :- asadmin enable-secure-admin
Restart domain to make effect of secure admin:
Step11 :- asadmin restart-domain
Now you can visit admin page (yourserverid:4848) in browser
To stop the GlassFish server:
Step12 :- asadmin stop-domain
Demo service: deploy hello.war on Glassfish
Download the sample application from Glassfish official samples:
Step12 :- wget https://glassfish.java.net/downloads/quickstart/hello.war
Deploy war file:
Step13 :- asadmin deploy /home/ee/glassfish/sample/hello.war
Now you can visit yourserverid:8080/hello
To undeploy the application:
Step14 :- asadmin undeploy hello
In order to save typing "admin user name" and "password" every time you deploy or undeploy an application, create a password file pwdfile with content:
Step15 :- AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=your_admin_password
Add --passwordfile in command:
Step16 :- asadmin --passwordfile pwdfile deploy /home/ee/glassfish/sample/hello.war
