Glassfish quickies

Here are two quickies for Glassfish.

Quickie 1: How to create a new domain.

asadmin create-domain --adminport 4949 --savemasterpassword true mydomain

where --adminport is the port number for the administration GUI
and --savemasterpassword tells GlassFish to save the master password. It will make it easier then to create a service.

Quickie 2: Setting GlassFish as a Windows Service
When running GlassFish on a Windows box one has to install it as a service so GlassFish keeps running once you log off.
Here how you do it:
1. Download GlassfishSvc.jar
2. Copy your file to your GlassFish installation and cd to this folder
3. Run the following command:

C:\Program Files\Sun\GlassfishV2>java -jar GlassfishSvc.jar -i -n ServiceName -m DomainName

where -i is to install, -u to uninstall.
