There is no stupid question in GlassFish land. All questions are welcome :)

I followed the insructions on how to install Glassfish from https://glassfish.dev.java.net/downloads/v2ur1-b09d.html. So I set JAVA_HOME system environment variable 'C:\java\SDK',
This env var is to set your path to where your Java SE installation is
located at. For instance c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.x. not the SDK path.

GlassFish is the open source project that builds the GlassFish
application server. The Sun Java System Application Server is the Sun
branded GlassFish app server packaged with the Java EE SDK. When you
installed the SDK it probably started the server at the end of
installation. Hence port 8080 is occupied for that process.
Fundamentally there is no difference between the Sun branded and
GlassFish appservers

A file hello.war_deployed was to be appear in the folder but it didn't. My attempt to run http://localhost:8080/hello didn't get me anywhere. However, there is another 'domain1' folder, it's in the SDK directory, full path: 'C:\java\SDK\domains\domain1'. If I place the hello.war file into 'C:\java\SDK\domains\domain1\autodeploy' folder then the application runs fine.

Yes, the GlassFish installation does to have a domain running which is
required for the autodeployed app to be loaded and processes. If you are
running the SDK's appserver, you will need to stop it and start the GF
server to see this in action. Or you will need to change the ports of
the GF installation that are mentioned in the setup.xml or
setup-cluster.xml files.
