Thanks for your advices, I have two confused questions as follows.
1. Is that the current deployment issues about GLASSFISH-18866 is no need
to be revised on the cluster?
2. The issue trac about GLASSFISH-18861 hasn't been resolved yet, I wonder
to know whether the web team will investigate it and resolve it. If you are
not convenient to investigate this issue, I'll investigate it instead.

Yes, this was following the same model we used since v2 and earlier
releases, we only roll back deployment on DAS and don't roll back failed
loading on instances for various reasons. The user will be given a
warning message to tell them the application will not run properly in
instance in this case and they should fix their applications and then
redeploy.
