It has the GUI-based installer for UNIX
systems and Linux systems in addition to the GUI-based installer for
Windows when GFv3TP2 was presented at Community ONE and JAVA ONE. If the
operating system is Solaris 10, then please make sure that the system
has the following
patch (from SunSolve):
119963-08 for SPARC platform or 119964-08 for the X86 platform.
The
GFv3TP2 installation is straight forward.
The user needs to have JDK 5 or
JDK 6 installed on the system. For Windows OS, the user does not need to do any setup.
For UNIX or Linux, the JAVA_HOME environment variable is required
to be set prior to the installation. The user just needs to click
through several screens to install using the default values; otherwise,
the user only needs to supply the installation directory and the HTTP
port value if they need to be customized.
The product registration process is also simple; either an existing Sun
Online Account or an email account for new Sun Online Account is
needed. The user should register when installing in order to get the
latest product's information. However, if the user skips the
registration during installation, the user can use the Admin Console, which
can be downloaded using the browser (i.e. http://localhost:8080/admin),
to register later.
GFv3TP2 also comes with a new Update Tool
(<install-dir>/bin/updatetool), which is also easy to use. It is a GUI tool which the user can use
to download the latest versions of various Application
Server add-on components, i.e. GlassFish Support For Grails Framework,
Jersey -RESTful WebServices, jMaki Ajax Framework, JRuby on GlassFish,
etc...
