Ok, the example I have was about starting the launcher we supply, which is basically an instance of Apache Felix + our ACE management agent. The latter is also available as a bundle and that is what you should use when you want to deploy bundles into an existing container (such as in the case you describe above). > I don't see the connection from ACE to that system. > > What I did so far was adding bundles/artifacts and assigned them to a feature > and assigned that feature to a distribution. Next steps? So take the org.apache.ace.managementagent.jar (this is a normal OSGi bundle) and deploy it inside your Glassfish container. It has some dependencies (imports) but those should be easy to resolve (if not already available, I don't know Glassfish that well). This bundle can be configured using system properties for "identification" and "discovery" similar to the launcher I described before. If that works, you should see a target with the name you supplied for "identification" show up in the UI, and you can associate a distribution with it. Greetings, Marcel
