Deployed null when using embedded glassfish server

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12250095

Question

after reading several tutorials (e.g. ocpsoft, oracle) I started to use embedded glassfish for running my hello-world app. It does work with the remote server but for some reason nothing is deployed when using the embedded server.

1.) "Cannot find javadb client jar file, derby jdbc driver will not be available by default." I am using derby and although e.g. variable AS_DERBY_INSTALL is set and exported it seems the jars cannot be found. Why?

2.) "INFO: Deployed null" Why is my app not deployed???

maven output when run e.g. as "mvn clean install" (doesn't make a difference whether I run "mvn install embedded-glassfish:run" or "mvn install embedded-glassfish:deploy").

maven output

When using

    <groupId>org.glassfish</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-embedded-glassfish-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.0</version>

maven throws a LifecycleExecutionException with caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: test.war. Looking on the file system test.war wasn't even created. If I change to version 3.1 then no exception is thrown but again "deployed null". Why is no war file being generated?

Was it helpful?

Solution

At last I found the problem. The correct configuration would be

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.glassfish</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-embedded-glassfish-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.1</version>
            <configuration>
                <goalPrefix>embedded-glassfish</goalPrefix>
                <app>target/${project.build.finalName}.war</app>
                <port>8080</port>
                <contextRoot>${project.build.finalName}</contextRoot>
                <autoDelete>true</autoDelete>
                <configFile>path_to_File/domain.xml</configFile>
            </configuration>
            <executions>
                <execution> 
                    <phase>install</phase>
                    <goals>         
                        <goal>run</goal>    
                    </goals>        
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Apart from referencing the correct groupId and version the element "app" needed a change. Additionally, in order to use a non-embedded instance of javadb the configFile element is pointing to the domain.xml of the non-embedded glassfish server.

Hope, it helps others, too.
