glassfish 4 and roller 5.0.1

  • get tired of twisting  apache roller for jboss EAP,  decide to try glassfish 4.0
  •  downloaded and installed glassfish-4.0.zip  full java EE platform
  • unziped and copied mysql jdbc to the domain1/lib/ext
  • copied roller-custom.properties to domain1/clases
  • deployed the download roller-5.0.1-javaee.war
  • woala!!, it works.

Lessons learned:

I am not a Java App server guru, but worked more than 2 years with glassfish(3 then 4) and 3 years with jboss EAP(5, then 6)

a lot of applications downloaded from the internet(roller, nexus, and others) will work with glassfish without modification

for jboss, the apps  need spend some time painfully sniffing through the source code and a lot of time I have to give up and go back to use glassfish.

This is my first time use glassfish 4, and I did not notice a lot of change between 3 and 4, the speed is decent.

between jboss EAP 5 and EAP6, the change is radical and as a developer, a lot of things I did in EAP 5 are completely different in EAP6.
