Server Upgrade

What's the recommended way of upgrading my Glassfish install from one
nightly to another? Here's what I've been doing:
 
* Shut down the server
* Rename/move the install dir
* Installer the new nightly
* Copy domain dir from old directory to new
* Restart the server
 
I recently did that with the 3/30 b42 nightly, and the admin control was
seriously messed with regard to presentation, though it seemed to work.
Eventually, I ended up removing that domain, recreating it with ant,
then adding back all of the JDBC resources (by editing domain.xml) and
redeploying all of the apps on the server. Is there a less painful way?
Thanks!
