Working with Metro on Glassfish v3 TP2
Posted by bhaktimehta on May 12, 2008 at 12:56 PM | Comments (5)
Glassfish v3 will be the
next major release of the GlassFish
application server. The focus of the release is modularization,
enablement of non Java EE containers
and embedability. GlassFish v3 builds on the strength of GlassFish v2
but takes a
completely
new approach, providing a highly modular, lightweight, extensible
architecture.
GlassFish v3 Technology Preview 2 (TP2) is a milestone release
of the GlassFish v3 Application Server. You can find the TP2 glassfish
preview bundle here.
This page
provides a brief description of TP2, and points
to the information you need to get started. Here
is the information on what is part of TP2
Metro will be available as
an Update Center module in V3 as part
of the TP2
This is a preliminary guide on how to work with Metro in the current
development v3 builds.
Note: This can be subjected to change in future.
Steps to install and run v3.
1. Unzip gfv3-preview2.zip downloaded from here.
This is the web distribution for v3 and does not have support for
EJBs. For TP2 we will only support JAXWS deployment ie.webservices with
webapps whose versions are 2.3 or 2.4. Support for
JSR 109 based services is in progress and will be available after TP2.
2. Run glassfish-v3tp2/bin/updatetool.bat
You get a prompt like this
The software needed for this command (updatetool.bat) is not installed. Press any key to install the necessary software, or Ctrl-C to quit. After software installation is completed you may re-run this command.
Press any key to continue . . .
It downloads the necessary files

This installs the UpdateCenter
3.Run glassfish-v3tp2/bin/updatetool.bat again and that brings up the gui like this click on the Available Add-ons
4. Select Metro Web Services Stack and click install
This will copy webservices-rt.jar,
webservices-tools.jar,webservices-api.jar and jsr109-impl.jar to
glassfishv3-tp2/glassfish/modules folder. Next you can start the GF
using
glassfishv3-tp2/glassfish/bin/asadmin start-domain domain1
5. Deploy your war like this glassfishv3-tp2/glassfish/bin/asadmin deploy foo.war
You can try metro samples from https://metro.dev.java.net/
Please give us feedback if this works for you . You can file your
bugs under https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/
category webservices and version v3.

When running the updatetool, is there any way to set information
for a HTTP proxy (url/port) ?
TIA,

Did you try the "Preferences" tab? It is in both UpdateTool v2 and UpdateTool v3. - eduard/o

I get an error when trying to install the Metro stack with updatetool. Right after the download finishes a window pops up saying : Installation failed, and invting me to send the error to the dev@updatetool.dev.java.net list, which I did. Could this have something to do with my jdk version? (1.6.0_06)? What might be wrong? TIA - wimv
