GlassFish is a program for Windows designed for developing and deploying Java EE applications and web services. It offers a modular runtime environment that minimizes resource consumption, as well as a dedicated console and a command line tool.

Brief review

Using this utility, you can configure web services, fix problems that are associated with the server, employ add-ons and deploy apps. If you work as an administrator, you have the ability to establish a secure environment and oversee all the resources and users. It is also necessary to mention that GlassFish is compatible with such development tools as Eclipse.

Server configuration

The initial domain is created during installation and consists of a group of instances that are managed together. Due to the fact that each one has its own server that hosts administrative applications, you are able to customize the connection settings.

Once you have configured all the necessary options, you can further modify the server. For example, you have the ability to adjust resources to improve productivity and solve various issues that might arise when you change the default settings.

Footnote

Please note, before working with GlassFish, you need to learn the basics of tiered applications and understand how to deploy them on a server. Since the software offers you a wide range of commands and libraries, it is aimed mostly at professional PC users.
