How do you start the application server?
I must be using an odd version of GlassFish or it's not working right on Vista. I followed the instructions here:
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/downloads/v2.1-b60e.html
But it doesn’t quite make sense. All the documentation I find online and within the installation itself says to “Start the Application Server by clicking the Start Admin Server option within the Programs menu.” There was nothing installed in my Programs menu. I assume this means “All Programs” in the Start menu. I’m doing this on Windows Vista, 64 bit. This documentation also assumes that I was able to pick an admin username, but there was no such option given during installation. All of that information was provided by the setup-cluster.xml given during the ant build.
This is just weird that I find instructions that tell me to run the ant build and then the instructions for the next step seem to assume that I’ve run some kind of Windows installer requesting information such as the admin username. E.g.:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4334/aboaa?a=view
I bet whatever should be in the start menu would just run some kind of command-line program to start the service, but so far I cannot find any information on-line telling me how to do it other than by this item in the Programs menu item.
Any hints out there?
