Maven Embedded Glassfish Plugin - not starting

Question

I can't seem to get a web application running with the embedded glassfish plugin:

Plugin Configuration:

<plugin>
                <groupId>org.glassfish</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-embedded-glassfish-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>${glassfish.version}</version>
                <configuration>
                    <port>${http.port}</port>

                    <autoDelete>true</autoDelete>
                    <app>${project.build.directory}/${maven.war.final.name}</app>
                    <containerType>web</containerType>
                    <!--
                    <goalPrefix>glassfish</goalPrefix>

                    <configFile>${project.build.directory}/${finalName}/WEB-INF/domain.xml</configFile>

                    <instanceRoot>${project.build.directory}/glassfish/${glassfish.version}</instanceRoot>
                    <installRoot>${project.build.directory}/glassfish/${glassfish.version}</installRoot>
                    -->

                    <!--
                    <contextRoot>test</contextRoot>
                    -->
                </configuration>
            </plugin>

Configuration:

<properties>
        <finalName>${project.artifactId}-${project.version}</finalName>
        <maven.war.final.name>${finalName}.war</maven.war.final.name>
        <http.port>80</http.port>
        <glassfish.version>3.0</glassfish.version>
    </properties>

Command Line:

mvn clean package embedded-glassfish:run

Output:

Netstat -an | grep 80 doesn't list anything:

netstat -an | grep :80

This configuration has worked for me in the past, I don't see any log messages or exceptions. What am I missing?

Answer 1

I don't have the full explanation (and I'm too lazy to find the real cause of the problem tonight) but it seems the maven-glassfish-embedded-plugin doesn't like the port 80, it just works with, say, 8080.

By the way, I'd recommend using the version 3.0.1.

<properties>
    <finalName>${project.artifactId}-${project.version}</finalName>
    <maven.war.final.name>${finalName}.war</maven.war.final.name>
    <http.port>8080</http.port>
    <glassfish.version>3.0.1</glassfish.version>
</properties>
