Thanks for the feedback Martin,
The issues are
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=8589
and
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=8590
The first one has a netbeans project attached that reproduces things. Unfortunately I'm not able to point you at the source (glassfish source) as I don't know. It's the weekend here at the moment, and I don't have to start moving to JBoss until next week so I'm going to have an attempt at checking out the glassfish source today and hoping for a miracle :)
You're right, glassfish has a very nice interface...however you can apparently get the same level of interface for JBoss with a subscription...so maybe I'll head that route if I can't figure out what's going wrong with the issue.
