Manage GlassFish using Browser/REST Interface

We enhanced html representations served by GlassFish REST interface. We are now including all the needed meta-data in html representations, thereby enabling write operations (update, create, delete) as well.  This enables us to manage and monitor GlassFish using browser.

To use this feature, you can do the following-
1. Download latest GlassFish v3 distribution (glassfish.zip or web.zip) - http://hudson.glassfish.org/job/gf-trunk-build-continuous/
2. Unzip distribution zip and start the server.
3. Manage and monitor GlassFish using your favorite browser. You can access GlassFish REST interface using the following root urls -

    GlassFish Configuration:
    http://{host}:{port}/management/domain

    GlassFish Monitoring:
    http://{host}:{port}/monitoring/domain

    where {host} is the server host and {port} is the administration port.
 
Note: You need to turn on module monitoring levels for monitoring data to show up.

Below are some of the screen shots-
