Thank you for downloading Eclipse GlassFish 6.0.0!
Here are a few short steps to get you started...
0. Prerequisite
===============
Eclipse GlassFish 6.0.0 requires JDK 8.
1. Installing Eclipse GlassFish
===============================
Installing Eclipse GlassFish is just a matter of unzipping the GlassFish archive in the desired directory. Since you are reading this, you have probably already unzipped GlassFish. If not, just type the following command in the directory where you want GlassFish to be installed : jar xvf glassfish.zip
The default domain called 'domain1' is installed and preconfigured.
2. Starting GlassFish
=====================
The 'asadmin' command-line utility is used to control and manage GlassFish (start, stop, configure, deploy applications, etc).
To start GlassFish, just go in the directory where GlassFish is located and type:
On Unix: glassfish6/glassfish/bin/asadmin start-domain
On Windows: glassfish6\glassfish\bin\asadmin start-domain
After a few seconds, GlassFish will be up and ready to accept requests. The default 'domain1' domain is configured to listen on port 8080. In your browser, go to
http://localhost:8080 to see the default landing page.
3. Stopping GlassFish
=====================
To stop GlassFish, just issue the following command :
On Unix: glassfish6/glassfish/bin/asadmin stop-domain
On Windows: glassfish6\glassfish\bin\asadmin stop-domain
4. Where to go next?
====================
Open the following local file in your browser: glassfish6/glassfish/docs/quickstart.html. It contains useful information such as the details about the pre-configured 'domain1', links to the GlassFish Documentation, etc.
