Re: GlassFish v3 admin console very slow

Having No Network Access is a little different than what Sam mentioned about proxy configuration for updatetool.
Actually now i wondered if the slowness that Sam experience when console starts up is really due to the update tool functionality.

There is already a way to specify no network access for Admin Console, and is  implemented.
You just need to specify the property  "com.sun.enterprise.tools.admingui.NO_NETWORK"  to "true".

Refer to https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=11057  for what  is affected by this property.

Sam,
Please try setting this system property to see if this helps you.

thanks
Anissa.

Correct, the server does not have direct connectivity to the
repository. It's in a corporate/firewalled network, and all
communications have to at least go via a proxy server. This is very
common in corporate networks.
    

Oh, yeah. I hadn't even tried to figure out why the console was so
dismally slow starting up, just avoided using it. But that explains it. :-)

Is there a way to specify proxy settings? If not, that, or a way to turn
off the connection attempts, should be a high-priority RFE.
