GlassFish server is a robust and popular platform for deploying Java applications. It offers a wide range of features and tools to simplify the deployment process. In this blog post, we will explore the steps involved in deploying a Java application on GlassFish server.

Step 1: Install GlassFish Server

To get started, you need to download and install the GlassFish server on your machine. You can obtain the latest version of GlassFish from the official website. Follow the installation instructions provided to complete the setup.

Step 2: Build your Java Application

Before deploying your application, ensure that it is properly built and packaged as a deployable artifact. Use a build tool like Maven or Gradle to manage your dependencies and create a WAR file or an EAR file that contains your application code.

Step 3: Start GlassFish Server

Once GlassFish is installed, start the server by navigating to the installation directory and running the asadmin start-domain command. This will initiate the server and make it ready to accept application deployments.

Step 4: Access GlassFish Admin Console

To deploy your application, access the GlassFish Admin Console through a web browser. The console can be accessed using the following URL: http://localhost:4848. Enter the default username and password (admin/admin) to log in.

Step 5: Deploy the Application

Inside the GlassFish Admin Console, navigate to the “Applications” tab and click on “Deploy”. Choose the packaged WAR or EAR file of your Java application and provide any necessary configuration details. Click “OK” to initiate the deployment process.

Step 6: Verify the Deployment

After the deployment is complete, you can verify the success by checking the application status in the GlassFish Admin Console. If the deployment is successful, the application will be listed as “running”. You can also access the application through the assigned URL.

Conclusion

Deploying Java applications on GlassFish server is a straightforward process. By following the steps outlined in this blog post, you can easily deploy your Java applications and take advantage of the features provided by GlassFish for seamless execution.
