How to provoke a timer trigger in glassfish?

We need some consistency in our functional test cases. The best we can do currently is to wait for an estimated time before the JEE timers in the product should have been triggered. It would be much more predictable if the test cases could trigger the timers programmatically, probably with JMX. How can this be done? Is there a JMX inter...

Separating presentation/web-services (RoR/Java)

Is it a good practice to develop web-service and web-site in two different languages, on two different servers? E.g. right now I create a Java web-service running on Glassfish and Ruby on Rails presentation layer running in the same server. I'd like to leave web-service on the same server but use Ruby 1.9, running in Passenger. Is it a...

GlassFish v3 Prelude - admin questions

I've been mucking around with GlassFish v3 prelude this evening. A couple of things I'm not sure about is how the security works. It installed like a dream, so the first thing I did was remove the anonymous account and setup an "admin" account with "mysecretpassword" and specified the asadmin group for this user in the admin realm. At ...

Why do some setups front-end Glassfish with Apache?

I've been trying to mug up on Glassfish and one thing that keeps coming up is the "how-to" on fronting Glassfish with Apache. Unfortunately, I have yet to find a description of why you would want to do this! From my experimentation, Glassfish seems like a pretty fully featured web server-type service; but I might be missing a lot. So, i...

How easy is it to set up JBoss Seam to run on GlassFish with JPA instead of Hibernate?

Question pretty much says it all - I'm interested to find out about how to set up JBoss Seam on a GlassFish (v3 prelude) application server rather than JBoss. Also, I prefer JPA over Hibernate for persistance but it looks as though Seam has dependencies on Hibernate (or at least parts of it), has anyone got any experience with a stack li...

Glassfish in real world

Are there any companies/web-sites that use Glassfish in production? I am new to J2EE and deploy JRuby on Rails alongside a JAX-WS Metro application in Glassfish v3 Prelude. Sometimes the quirks make me go WTF and rip my hair out. I haven't had experience with Apache Tomcat and was wondering if it makes sense to switch to Tomcat, as Glas...

Thread in App Server

I have a Java program/thread that I want to deploy into an App Server (glassfish). The thread should run as a "service" that starts when the App server starts and stops when the App Server closes. How would I go about doing this? Its not really a Session Bean or MDB.. Its just a thread. ...

Problems uploading big wars to glassfish

So our war file recently ballooned from about 55MB to over 100MB. At which point, deploy by upload in admin stopped working. Deploy from the command line and deploy from the local filesystem still work. Experimenting, we've determined that the failure point is somewhere between 95 - 100 MB, as in at 95MB war deploys successfully while a ...

Java Security Framework

Security always tends to take the last place in a new project. Or you use a framework like Spring where security is already build-in and can be switched on easily. I try to find an open security framework that can be plugged-in to both Swing and Web applications (and JavaFX?), maybe easy to digest. I looked at plain JAAS, JGuard and JSec...

How to assign a unique ID to a webservice instance

I'd like to assign an unique identifier to a soap request as soon as it arrives at my (GlassFish 2) server. I suppose I use a handler for this. But where can I store such an ID? I need it to relate log-lines from multiple classes. For this I need some sort of context-object. Anyone an idea? ...

Exception occurs with JAX-RPC handler

I have some SOAP webservices build with JAX-RPC. These work fine. But as soon as I add a handler, I get an exception. When the binding is removed from the webservices.xml, everything works fine again. The weird thing is, the handler itself isn't included in the stacktrace of the exception. I also noticed, the init and getHeaders method...
