The previous problem you were having was very likely a GlassFish bug.
The promoted version of GlassFish you are running also has knows bugs
that we've documented on the site FYI.
To change the database location, all you should need to do is change the
<webapp.databaseTempDir> entry in pom.xml and rebuild. The test-web.xml
entry is used only for tests.
Could you kindly try out different values for 'databaseTempDir' and see
if something can work without needing to muck with permissions/creating
directories? Otherwise, we really need to add this to our setup
instructions ASAP:
https://java.net/projects/cargotracker/pages/NetBeans. I would do this
myself but I'll take me a while to get a Linux/UNIX version up and
running...
