Provision Glassfish servers
---------------------------
Key: ACE-191
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACE-191
Project: Ace
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Paul Bakker
It should be possible to provision a Glassfish server instead of a pure Felix
instance. Glassfish contains Felix and in recent versions you can directly
deploy OSGI bundles as you would do in a normal OSGI container. There are some
extra features however; for example you can use EJB, JPA and CDI from bundles
and use the WAB as deployment type besides normal bundles. In the future we can
also build towards clustering support on top of GF.
I fixed this by creating a new Ace launcher specifically for Glassfish. It
downloads and unzips GF, changes it's configuration files and installs the Ace
Management Agent. GF is started using asadmin after that. Besides this I
changed the Amazon Node Laucher. You can now configure a serverType to either
DEFAULT or GLASSFISH. When the type is GLASSFISH it changes the startup script
to download and use the new Glassfish launcher.
At this moment Glassfish is downloaded from a S3 bucket that I created because
the official download server is extremely slow. We have to come up with
something better however.
