Using Eclipse to Develop for the GlassFish Application Server
LAB-7001

This lab session presents the GlassFish Tools Bundle for Eclipse, which can be used for configuring, deploying, and monitoring the GlassFish application server. The GlassFish application server implements the latest Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE platform) technologies, such as the Java Servlet 3.0 API, JavaServer Faces 2.0 technology, scripting, Metro Java API for XML Web Services (JAX-WS) Web services, and Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) 3.1 technology. This lab serves as an introduction to using the Eclipse IDE to develop various applications targeting the GlassFish application server as the runtime server.

Specifically, this lab deals with the following areas:

• How Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 Prelude can be registered and started through Eclipse
• Using the GlassFish Administration Console from Eclipse
• Using the GlassFish Update Center from Eclipse
• Customizing properties of GlassFish application server integration with Eclipse
• Viewing and customizing GlassFish application server log file integration with the Eclipse console
• Creating and deploying a dynamic Web project targeted for Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 Prelude
