Starting the GlassFish Server and Data Mashup Service Engine

This topic provides information for starting the GlassFish server and the Enterprise Data Mashup Service Engine. While creating and working on a Data Mashup project in the NetBeans IDE you do not need to have the Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server running. In order to start the service engine and configure its runtime properties, the GlassFish server needs to be started. When Data Mashup requires the application server, Data Mashup starts the server automatically.

To Start the Server and Service Engine

1. To start the GlassFish server, do the following on the NetBeans IDE:

   1. Select the Services tab.

   2. Expand the Servers node.

   3. Right-click the GlassFish server (GlassFish V2, by default), and then select Start.

   Wait until the message, “Application server startup complete,” appears in the Output window and a green arrow points at GlassFish V2 in the Services panel.

2. To start the Enterprise Data Mashup Service Engine, do the following:

   1. Expand the application server node in the Services panel.

   2. Expand JBI.

   3. Expand Service Engines.

   4. Right–click sun-edm-engine and select Start.
