Kedar,
Now it's really bad. How can I run QLook? Whatever I do, it fails
to start a domain.
I tried:
a) to start a domain with --savemasterpassword=true
b) to do asadmin login (btw, do I need to repeat it after
each restart, as I need to stop a domain to run QLook)
There are no directions in either the web page
(
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/public/GuidelinesandConventions.html#Quicklook_Tests)
or the QuickLook-README.txt under appserv-tests.
thanks,
-marina
