GlassFish installation steps

Instructions to unbundle and configure GlassFish

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.

1. Download one of the bundles to disk, set JAVA_HOME to the JDK you have installed on your system.
2. Run:

% java -Xmx256m -jar filename.jar

This command will unbundle GlassFish and create a new directory structure rooted under a directory named 'glassfish'.
3.

% cd glassfish

4. 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 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

To get started with GlassFish, see the quick start guide.

See Configuring the Cluster/Load Balancer with GlassFish V2 for how to do the load balancing after creating Clusters on GlassFish V2.
