Steps to download and install GlassFish Server :

• 1. Open https://glassfish.java.net/download.html url  and download glassfish-4.1.1.zip under Java EE 7 Full Platform. JDK 8 u60 or above is recommended for GlassFish 4.1.1.

  2. Unzip the downloaded file to the path where you would like to install glassfish.

  3. Go the glassfish4/bin/ and open command prompt in that location.

  4. Run asadmin file. For linux: sh asadmin. For Windows: asadmin.bat

  5. To  start server use command start-domain and to stop server use stop-domain.

Steps to Configure Triniti Applications on GlassFish Server :

• 1. First of all go to your glassfish server location and navigate to the /home/glassfish4/glassfish/domains/domain1/config/domain.xml.       

  2. Open domain.xml file and edit the port number to your respective instance’s port number in the below tag and save the file. For ex : port=”8080” to port=”9999”.

<network-listener protocol="http-listener-1" port="9999" name="http-listener-1"                         thread-pool="http-thread-pool" transport="tcp"></network-listener>.

     3)  Add below <system-property-name> tag in <config name="server-config"> tag to declare TRINITI_HOME as constant to use it for Deployment path at all places in domain.xml      and change the value.

For ex : value=”home/TrinitiApps28”

<system-property name="TRINITI_HOME" value="/software/Tri2ProductionHome/TrinitiApps28"></system-property>.

For reference screenshot is attached. Add the tag to the highlighted portion in the screenshot :

4) Also add the below changes to the domain.xml file in <applications> tag to add the context name.If <applications> tag is not there then add it after </system-applications> tag.

           <applications>

      <application context-root="/tas" object-type="user" name="tas" directory-deployed="true"      location="file:${TRINITI_HOME}/infrastructure/tas/">

     <property name="appLocation" value="file:${TRINITI_HOME}/infrastructure/tas/"></property>

     <property name="preserveAppScopedResources" value="false"></property>

     <property name="defaultAppName" value="tas"></property>

     <module name="tas">

       <engine sniffer="webservices"></engine>

       <engine sniffer="security"></engine>

       <engine sniffer="web"></engine>

     </module>

   </application>

</applications>

• • Copy paste the same and change the context name to  your respective context name like tas,tab,tabimpl,fdt,viewer,etc to add more contexts.

5) Also need to increase maxpermsize to 1024m in <jvm-options> tag.

    Search for the “<jvm-options>-XX:MaxPermSize” and change the size.

    For ex : <jvm-options>-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m</jvm-options>.

Search for the “<jvm-options>-Xmx” and change the size to 4096m.

    For ex : <jvm-options>-Xmx4096m</jvm-options>.   

6) Add application reference in <servers> in domain.xml.

    <application-ref ref="tas" virtual-servers="server"></application-ref>

    And change the ref to your context name.

    For ex : ref=”tas” or ref=”tab” ,etc.

7) Now go the below path /home/glassfish4/glassfish/domains/domain1/docroot/

    Open index.html file and search for “go to the Administration Console”.

    Change the url from localhost to respective url.

    For ex : localhost to hltappsd.global.triniti.com.

8) Place all the jars from /TrinitiApps28/common/  and jars from /TrinitiApps28/common/ googleapi/  to  /glassfish4/glassfish/domains/domain1/lib/.

9) Check web.xml file in all contexts where all the <servlet> tags has to be first and all the <servlet-mapping> tag after that.
