The document discusses how to use Embedded GlassFish to boost productivity by running GlassFish within a Java application using APIs to start, deploy to, and manage GlassFish. It provides an overview of the Embedded GlassFish APIs, distributions, and Maven plugin as well as use cases and the current state of Embedded GlassFish. The Embedded GlassFish APIs allow developers to programmatically start an embedded GlassFish instance, deploy applications to it, and access services like the web container.

5. What did we do here ?

6. How did we do it

8. Distributions

10. State of Embedded GlassFish

12. Deployed an application which was not in an archive form

13. Access the Servlet from the test program

14. Undeployed the application

15. Stopped GlassFish

16. All this happened in the VM in which the test program was runnning

22. Manage the lifecycle ( start / stop)

23. Allow configuration

32. Once dispose() is called, further invocations of start() throw an exception

34. Abstracts archive contents distributed across directories.

36. Valid values are RAR | WAR | JAR

38. Set of classes and interfaces that represent an embeddable web container

39. Allows for configuration of virtual servers, context and protocol listeners

41. virtual servers

44. HttpListener

45. HttpsListener

46. AJPListener

48. Support for plugging in custom runtime

51. Package javax.ejb.embeddable

57. Standalone distribution different from GlassFish distributions

58. Unzips to a temporary directory where the binaries and domain data are installed

61. Existing GlassFish installation is used

62. glassfish-embedded-static-shell.jar is available with standard GlassFish distributions

63. Domain data and application data are stored in the installation

64. A custom domain.xml can be specified

68. start

69. stop

70. deploy

71. undeploy

74. Maven plugin eliminates the need for Java code for standard operations

77. Implementation is ready

78. Shipped to the community as a part of the 3.1 community release

79. Adding tests to verify fidelity with standalone GlassFish

80. Working on passing TCKs to claim compliance fidelity with standalone GlassFish
