A couple ideas off the top of my head:
- Provide a way (if there isn't already one) to deploy exploded
archives, and to develop right out of that folder. Maybe even a pointer
to some other folder (/home/ryan/dev/project1/web/) so we don't have to
rebuild, deploy, and recreate the session when tweaking screens etc. I
waste a lot of time doing this, and our PHP guys think it's funny. I
hear about Tomcat users making a change to a JSP, pressing save then
refresh.
- Make a way for GlassFish to be used in a shared hosting environment
where every hosting customer has their own admin console, virtual
servers, or whatever. Let each customer deploy, redeploy, undeploy,
manage JDBC, etc. I know there are issues with shared JVMs... find an
innovative solution. Take over the shared Tomcat hosting market.
- Add support for different custom roles in the admin GUI. I want to be
able to give our support staff access to manage JCA connection pools,
read logs, and a few other basic things but nothing else.
- Somewhere I read that you can't use wildcards in virutal host names?
For example: *.mycompany.com is served by webapp1. This probably
prevents certain apps from being used on GlassFish, like JIRA? Not
sure, haven't tried.
