Screencast #28: Simple Web Application using Eclipse and GlassFish v3 Prelude

Filed under: web2.0 — arungupta @ 5:00 am

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

GlassFish v3 Prelude is now available! Some of the cool features are:

Modularity using OSGi
Rapid deployment using retain session data across HTTP redeploys and deploy-on-save
Embeddability
Dynamic languages and frameworks
Faster start up time
Integrated NetBeans and Eclipse tooling
Comet and Cometd

This screencast shows how you can create a simple Web application using JSP and Servlets in Eclipse 3.4, deploy it directly on GlassFish v3, use rapid deployment, and debug the application.

The GlassFish plugin for Eclipse has many more features than demonstrated in this screencast and are explained here.

A complete list of GlassFish related screencasts is available here. Other screencasts published on this blog are available here.

Also see GlassFish v3 running using Equinox, Rails and Merb applications using GlassFish Gem, and Embeddable GlassFish.

Looks like its quite easy to learn and deploy web applications using the GlassFish v3 Prelude plug in. I am not a Java programmer but from what I have seen, I would’nt mind learning the language. Where can I get learning materials for a Java novice like me?

When I try to run this program, I did not get the default index.jsp from my eclipse. I created one index.jsp and added at WebContent folder. After that when I try to run the whole application on server I get this error :

Hi Dana,

It sounds like you’re trying to use a JRE instead of a full JDK with your glassfish runtime, which is not supported. If you have further questions, please post them on .

Hi!

I had the same problem as Dana Nourie.

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: java.err.nojdk

Glashfish plugin was using the default JRE. with doesn’t have all the necessary jar files.

I went to Menu bar the Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs.

And then I added the JRE from JDK install forder.

And it works!

Comment by Bay Area Web Design — January 26, 2010 @ 1:12 am
Hi Arun,

What if I already have an Eclipse 3.5 and a "standalone" SGES V211patch14 installation on my laptop (WinXP) ?

Can I then download the Eclipse Glassfish plugin, and then add a server pointing the appserver directory to the directory of my standalone V211patch14 server ?

Or will the plugin only work with the appservers that come bundled with the plugin, or aren’t any appservers bundles within the plugin ?

Please advice.

Thanks,
EDH

Comment by Edwin Dhondt — February 3, 2010 @ 9:29 am
Hi Arun,

I’ve already got an Eclipse 3.5 installation as well as separate "standalone" SGES V211Patch02 installation on which I deploy things once in a while (not from within Eclipse).

What will happen when I download and install the Glassfish Eclipse plugin ?

Will I be able to add a server in Eclipse pointing the appserver directory to my standalone V211patch02 installation, or does the plugin only work with the bundled appservers (or doesn’t the plugin come bundled with appservers) ?

Thanks,
EDH

Comment by Edwin Dhondt — February 3, 2010 @ 9:33 am
EDH,

An existing Eclipse 3.5 installation can be easily configured to install the plugin and then connect with an externally installed App Server (v211patch02) in your case. This is all explained at:

http://blogs.sun.com/arungupta/entry/totd_115_glassfish_in_eclipse

Let me know if you need more guidance.
