Monitoring in GlassFish v3 has taken a huge leap when compared to the earlier versions. We provide a way to dynamically and non-intrusively generate monitoring events from any of the glassfish runtime classes, the ability to listen to these events, collect the statistics and expose these statistics through various standard clients.[Read More]

GlassFish v3 Prelude uses the new lightweight monitoring framework
to expose the monitoring data. It moves away from the 'container's
collect statistics' theme to 'container's emit events and interested
listeners will collect them'. This allows the statistics to be
collected in a much cleaner way and makes it more flexible to collect
different variations of statistics for the same set of container
events. For Prelude we expose the Web Container, Application and JVM
statistics, using the asadmin CLI utility and Admin GUI.[Read More]

The article on 'Provisioning Sun Java System Application Server with
N1SPS' is coauthored by me and is published at this link.
This article covers extensively about the different aspects of the
features of the N1SPS plugin for Sun Java System Application Server.

We have seen from other blogs with regards to how to manage the remote installations of Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 (productized version of GlassFish V2) using the N1SPS plugin for Application Server.
In this blog I will show you how to identify and absorb an existing installation of GlassFish V2 on a remote machine and manage it with N1SPS plugin.
This is particularly useful with GlassFish V2 which doesn't have a silent installer that could be used inline with N1SPS to do a remote installation. In order to get over this limitation, you need to either use the Sun Java System Application server 9.1 (Again the productized version of GlassFish V2) or do a manual install of the GlassFish V2 itself and then follow the instructions in this blog.

In this blog we will look at some of the Application Server Infrastructure tasks which involves the administration of Application server components (Domain, Cluster, Node Agent and Instance).[Read More]
Take a look at the article written by Kedar, Myself and Rick which talks about Clustering in GlassFish V2. This article talks about Clustering in GlassFish, Failover with in-memory session state replication (new feature in GlassFish V2), Domain Administration Architecture, Group Management Service and Load Balancer Plug-in. This article will help you to get started with deploying your applications to a GlassFish cluster.[Read More]

The Application Server Plugin allows you to install High Availability Database (HADB) on a Target host(s), its also required to associate this installation with an existing DAS. User can start and stop the HADB agent, uninstall and uninstall (markOnly) the HADB. It will also allow youto view the list of HADB's installed.[Read More]
The Application Server Plugin allows you to install, install (markOnly), uninstall and uninstall (markOnly) the Load Balancer Plugin for Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 and 7.0 versions. You can also view the list of LB Plugin Installations. Here we will take a look on how to use the N1SPS Application Server Plugin to Install and Uninstall the Load Balancer Plugin.

No matter how many efforts the team has put into making managing GlassFish v2 deployments easier, there will always be a point where some users (service providers or anyone else doing massive deployments) would like some extra help. This is where the N1 Service Provisioning System comes to the rescue. The idea is to help manage hundreds of hosts spread across many geographic locations by provisioning the software - describing it once, deploying it many times. Installing the bits, configuring the product (creating resources), and deploying applications to it can all be taken care of by N1 SPS. This same product can provision just about anything else your architecture requires - database, web servers, etc...

You must have seen many blogs talking about the different parts of configuring a load balancer that will work with GlassFish V2. This blog is an effort to put that content together to create a scenario which you can try and which will work.
This document covers the various options in terms of replication and load-balancing using either software (web servers) or hardware solutions. It also touches more advanced topics such as establishing a secure connection between the DAS (Domain Admin Server) and the web server.[Read More]
