For instructions on how to deploy a lifecycle module, see the Oracle GlassFish Server 3.1 Application Deployment Guide, or see the asadmin create-lifecycle-module command in the Oracle GlassFish Server 3.1-3.1.1 Reference Manual.
You do not need to specify a classpath for the lifecycle module if you place it in the domain-dir/lib or domain-dir/lib/classes directory for the Domain Administration Server. Do not place it in the lib directory for a particular instance, or it will be deleted when that instance synchronizes with the Domain Administration Server.
