GlassFish clickstart

This clickstart sets up a build service, repository and a basic GlassFish app with continuous deployment. All built by maven.

Launch this clickstart and glory could be yours too ! Use it as a building block if you like. You can launch this on Cloudbees via a clickstart automatically, or follow the instructions below.

This is based on the GlassFish stack that you can read more about here.

Deploying manually:

Create a Glassfish4 container

bees app:create -a my-glassfish4-app -t glassfish4

Create a MySQL Database

bees db:create my-glassfish4-db

Bind the MySQL Database to the Glassfish container

bees app:bind -a my-glassfish4-app -db my-glassfish4-db -as mydb
