In the previous  blog  we tried running glassfish-samples using Glassfish v2  using JDK 6.
We walked through what was different when trying with JDK 6 and I mentioned to use a temporary
work-around of putting javaee.jar in $AS_HOME/lib/endorsed..
However this bug is now fixed since Glassfish v2 b31 .

The latest Glassfish v2 installs webservices-api.jar in $AS_HOME/lib/endorsed. and hence we do not need to put javaee.jar there.

Install JDK 6 from http://download.java.net/jdk6/binaries/

Install  GlassFish v2

You can install  the latest nightly or the latest promoted v2 build from https://glassfish.dev.java.net/public/downloadsindex.html
Follow these instructions to unbundle and configure glassfish .

1. Check the following file where AS_HOME is the location where Glassfish is installed

   <$AS_HOME>/config/asenv.conf for AS_JAVA

2. Modify  $AS_JAVA to point to JDK 6 if that is not already set

   AS_JAVA="location of JDK 6" 

1. Run :

    java -jar javaee5-samples-installer-1.0-b09.jar

2. Edit : <location of samples>/bp-project/build.properties to point to $AS_HOME for e.g

      javaee.home="location of Glassfish"

4. Check the java version on the client side
   

      /usr/glassfish-samples/javaee5/webservices %java -version
      java version "1.6.0-rc"
      Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-rc-b104)
      Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-rc-b104, mixed mode, sharing)

/usr/glassfish/bin %$AS_HOME/bin/asadmin* start-domain domain1

1. /usr/glassfish-samples/javaee5/webservices/hello-jaxws %ant

This is how the output looks like on the client side

/usr/glassfish-samples/javaee5/webservices/hello-jaxws %ant

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Total time: 13 seconds

Please note:
As seen in the following sample.
Clients should set the fololowing property to run with JDK 6

 <sysproperty key="java.endorsed.dirs" value="${javaee.home}/lib/endorsed"/> 

The solution is to copy $AS_HOME/lib/endorsed/webservices-api.jar to $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/endorsed.

Neither jvmargs nor sysproperty will work in this case
because by the time ant loads this class it would have already loaded the 2.0 classes
and we did not get the chance to override the 2.0 classes with 2.1 classes.
