Tutorial: Setting up Glassfish On a Linux
Server
Leave a reply
Setting up Glassfish for our Web Service based PDF converter was a relatively straight-forward
job, but there are some nuances to be aware of. In this article I will take you through the steps I
took to set up Glassfish and deploy an application with it.
Ill be using Ubuntu Server 12.04.4 setup on a local virtual machine, but Ive also used the same
methods on CentOS servers so its fair to say this will work in most major distributions of Linux.
Installing a JDK from Oracle
To download the most recent JDK from Oracle you cant simply use wget to fetch the jdk
directly. My initial idea was to just download the jdk to my desktop and use Secure Copy (scp)
to copy it over to my server. The issue with this option is that it isnt as viable an option on
Windows as it is on Linux or Unix, due to the lack of a built in scp function.
However, Irani over on StackOverflow has provided a better solution which uses wget with a
specific cookie. So in your SSH terminal type the following:
wget --no-cookies --header "Cookie: gpw_e24=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oracle.com%2F"
http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u51-b13/jdk-7u51-linux-
x64.tar.gz
Now we need to extract the compressed JDK into a folder. Type the following command:
tar xzf jdk-7u51-linux-x64.tar.gz
This will extract the JDK into a new directory (in this case called jdk1.7.0_51). Remember the
location of directory, it will be important in the next step.
Setting up Glassfish
Luckily, downloading Glassfish is a lot simpler than the JDk. Type into the terminal:
wget http://download.java.net/glassfish/4.0/release/glassfish-4.0.zip
Once downloaded, it needs to be extracted with unzip:
unzip glassfish-4.0.zip
You should now have a directory called glassfish4, The next step is to associate the JDK we
downloaded previously with Glassfish itself. To do this, we need to edit the file asenv.conf
which is located in glassfish4/glassfish/config/. Using a command line text editor such as vi or
nano add the following line to the bottom of the file and change the path in the quotes to match
the absolute path to your JDK location:
AS_JAVA="/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_51"
Save the changes and exit your editor.
Now we can start the server, navigate to glassfish4/bin and run the following command:
./asadmin start-domain
Your server has now started, to check if its working you can go to your servers IP address or
URL with the default Glassfish port 8080. You should see a page similar to the following:

Deploying an Application
Now the server is up and running, we can deploy our application to glassfish. For the sake of
simplicity, Ill be uploading the compiled war file from our server example, which you can find
on Github. We have two options to deploy our application. The first is to use Secure Copy (scp)
to copy the application to the server and deploy via command line. The other is to enable remote
admin and upload it via Glassfishs web interface. Both of these are viable options so Ill explain
both.
Via Command Line
The first step is that we need to copy the war file to the server. *nix based computers have scp
natively available via the command line, for Windows youll have to search around for a
program that can emulate the functionality. In a terminal window insert the following:
scp /path/to/application.war username@server.location.com:~
Once its on the server, ssh back into your server and type the following (contextroot is an
optional flag, but it means we know where out application is being deployed to):
./path/to/glassfish4/bin/asadmin deploy --contextroot "/pdf2html5"
/path/to/application.war
Now if we navigate to our server in the browser, we can see the application is succesfully
deployed:

Note that the port is only 1080 because Im using port forwarding between my desktop and the
virtual machine. Usually itll be 8080.
Via the Web Interface
Glassfish also comes with a web environment which gives you a graphical interface to work with.
However for security reasons its disabled by default. To enable it, you must first set a password
for the admin account type:
glassfish4/bin/asadmin change-admin-password
Youll be prompted for the admin user name (which is admin by default), then the current
password (which is blank by default so just press enter) finally youll be asked to enter your
password and confirm it.

Now thats a password is set you can enable the remote admin, type the following and then enter
the admin name and password:
./asadmin enable-secure-admin

Now restart the server with the following:
./asadmin restart-domain
Now we can access the web interface, go to your servers address with the admin port on the end
(4848 by default) and you should see a login window, enter your admin username and password
to log in. From here select Applications from the bar on the left.

Then select Deploy.

Press the choose file button and select the war file you want to upload, you can also optionally
select the context path.

Finally press OK and the file will be uploaded and deployed.
And there you have it, you now have Glassfish set up on your server and your application is
good to go.

Installing Glassfish server on Linux
Installing Glassfish server on Linux

1. Install SDK http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-
1637583.html

In my case I downloaded rpm : jdk-7u5-linux-x64.rpm

Lets set global JAVA_HOME

vi /etc/profile and add :

JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java; export JAVA_HOME

/usr/local/java is the location where java sdk will be installed.

Lets get to it:
rpm -ihv jdk-7u5-linux-x64.rpm

Preparing ########################################### [100%]

1:jdk ########################################### [100%]

Unpacking JAR files

rt.jar

jsse.jar

charsets.jar

tools.jar

localedata.jar

This installs it into: /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_05 ? You can check where files are with the commands:

rpm -ql jdk-1.7.0_05-fcs.x86_64|more


In rhel/fedora you can either remove dummy java symlink or point to your actual install. I am
talking about:

/etc/alternatives/java

ls -la /etc/alternatives/java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46 2011-09-05 18:46 /etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-
openjdk.x86_64/bin/java
rm /etc/alternatives/java
rm: remove symbolic link `/etc/alternatives/java? y
ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_05/bin/java /etc/alternatives/java
ls -la /etc/alternatives/java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 2012-06-13 10:45 /etc/alternatives/java ->
/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_05/bin/java
java -version
java version 1.7.0_05?

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_05-b05)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.1-b03, mixed mode)

Lets take care of symlink for our JAVA_HOME
ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_05 /usr/local/java
ls -la /usr/local/java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2012-06-13 10:44 /usr/local/java -> /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_05

2. Download glassfish server for Linux:

chmod +x ogs-3.1.2-unix.sh

*Please note* if you are planning to bind to ports < 1024 you need to run it as root, otherwise
any local/Kerberos user is fine. Theres also a workaround to bind to port 80. You can contact
me for more info.

sh ./ogs-3.1.2-unix.sh

Unfortunterally, by default it requires X windows. There are command line options available too,
however I do have vnc and this is the method I chose to install. You would have to vnc as oracle
into your server. You can check my Enabling VNC server on Linux as 1,2,3 quick guide.

Once GUI opens up just follow on-screen instructions
Glassfish is installed in : /usr/local/glassfish3

I created stop and start scripts:

cat stop.sh

bin/asadmin stop-domain domain1
cat start.sh

nohup bin/asadmin start-domain verbose &

At this point you can launch firefox locally and point your browser to:
http://localhost:4848

about me [ expanded ]
Working with Unix/Linux, Oracle, Clustering and CORE services technologies since 1999 prompted me to start my
blog to assist other curious minds.
Social Line: Openness, enthusiasm and individualism are the main traits. Ambitious, with lots of drive and a strong
will to lead. Poor follower. Fiercely independent, usually take the side of the underdog in any controversy. Champion
of lost causes and losing battles. This trait is due to a strong belief in own abilities to turn any situation around.
I also would like to thank fygrave [ Fyodor ] for helping me get off to a good start in around 1997.
