Launching Admin Console

In the Application Server v3 Technology Preview 2 release, the Admin Console is not
installed by default, but is instead installed when you invoke it for the first time after installing Application Server.
The URL to launch the console is *http://localhost:8080/admin*
If this is the first time since installation, you will be prompted to download and install it.

Logging into Admin Console

Starting from 4/22, admin user no longer exists. The default user now is anonymous without password.

Bug in promoted b10a

There is a bug in promoted build http://download.java.net/glassfish/v3-tp2/promoted/glassfish-v3-preview2-b10a.zip when trying to refresh the status page during the download of Admin Console.

You will see that the URL in the browser changed to http://localhost8080/status.html and get a 404 Error.
To workaround the problem, change the URL to how you start it, eg http://localhost:8080/admin and press return.
Repeat this till you see the login page.

Building Admin Console

Admin console is not part of the main build. Here is the steps to build and deploy your own admin console.
(checkout from tp2-branch): svn checkout https://svn.java.net/svn/glassfish-svn/branches/tp2

  1. cd v3; mvn install; cd ..
  2. unzip v3/distribution/web/target/web.zip
  3. cd v3/admingui; mvn clean install; cd ../..
  4. (optional) Your web.zip has the console-plugin jars from repository, not the one that you just build yourself. If you want to use the one you just built, you will need to replace it by :

cp admingui/web/target/console-web-plugin-*.jar glassfish/modules/web/

and

cp admingui/plugin-service/target/console-plugin-service*.jar glassfish/modules/

  1. glassfish/bin/asadmin start-domain
  2. glassfish/bin/asadmin deploy admingui/war/target/admingui.war

Access admin console by going to http://localhost:8080/admingui
