This chapter explains how to extend and update a deployed Oracle GlassFish Server 3.1.2 installation.
The following topics are addressed here:
Upgrading to Oracle GlassFish Server From GlassFish Server Open Source Edition
Extending and Updating GlassFish Server Inside a Closed Network
GlassFish Server is designed to provide its functionality in a modular form so that you can choose to include the functionality that you need and leave out the functionality that is not needed. OSGi modules, also called bundles, provide add-on functionality for your deployed GlassFish Server. As new add-on components are developed and existing components are modified, you can extend and update GlassFish Server by installing these components. You can add components during runtime, without stopping the server. But you must stop the server before updating or removing an installed component.
Image Packaging System (IPS) tools for updating GlassFish Server software obtain updates from repositories that contain the OSGi modules and other content for GlassFish Server.
Oracle GlassFish Server and GlassFish Server Open Source Edition each have their own set of repositories, as explained in the following sections:
Table 11-1 lists the preconfigured repositories for Oracle GlassFish Server.

For Oracle GlassFish Server installations, the release.glassfish.oracle.com publisher is designated as the preferred publisher. To ensure that installations contain only commercial, production quality version of components by default, the preferred publisher is treated specially by the tools for updating GlassFish Server software:
If an add-on component is available from the preferred publisher and from other publishers, the Update Tool GUI and the pkg CLI list and install the component from the preferred publisher.
After a component has been installed from the preferred publisher, the Update Tool, Software Update, and desktop notifier GUIs search for updates to that component only from the preferred publisher.
If you have support for Oracle GlassFish Server, you can change the preferred publisher's repository URL from the Oracle GlassFish Server release repository to the Oracle GlassFish Server support repository. For more information, see Enabling the Oracle GlassFish Server Support Repository.
If you have support for Oracle GlassFish Server, you can change the repository URL for the preferred provider, release.glassfish.oracle.com, to refer to the support repository instead of to the release repository. This support repository includes the content provided by the release repository, but also includes commercial, production quality updates that resolve issues reported by Oracle GlassFish Server customers.
Enabling the Oracle GlassFish Server support repository involves two tasks:
Your company's technical contact acquires the key and certificate files needed to access the support repository.
GlassFish Server administrators use the key and certificate files to change the release.glassfish.oracle.com publisher's repository URL to the support repository.
Note:
The key and certificate files needed to enable access to the support repository expire. When they expire, you need to acquire new ones and apply them to your Oracle GlassFish Server installations.
To acquire the key and certificate files for the Oracle GlassFish Server support repository, your company's technical contact uses the pkg-register.oracle.com Certificate Generator.
Before using the Certificate Generator, you must add your Oracle GlassFish Server Customer Support Identification (CSI) numbers to your My Oracle Support account. If you do not yet have a My Oracle Support account, you can create one at https://support.oracle.com.
In a web browser, go to https://pkg-register.oracle.com and sign in using your My Oracle Support account information.
After signing in, the Certificate Requests page displays, showing "Oracle GlassFish Server 3 Support" as one of the products for which you can request a certificate.
Select "Oracle GlassFish Server 3 Support" and then click Submit.
The Certificate Requests: Additional Information page displays.
Enter an optional comment if desired, and then click Submit.
The Certificate Information page displays.
Note down the expiration date of the certificate.
When the current certificate expires, you will need to repeat this process to acquire new certificates.
Click Download Key and save the Oracle_GlassFish_Server_3_Support.key.pem file.
Click Download Certificate and save the Oracle_GlassFish_Server_3_Support.certificate.pem file.
Sign out of the Certificate Generator site.
Make the key and certificate files you saved available to your company's Oracle GlassFish Server administrators.
Note:
If you accidentally delete or misplace these files, you can sign into https://pkg-register.oracle.com using your My Oracle Support account information and get replacement copies of them.
release.glassfish.oracle.com Publisher's URL to the Support RepositoryUse the pkg utility to change the repository URL for the release.glassfish.oracle.com publisher to the Oracle GlassFish Server support repository for an Oracle GlassFish Server installation.
Before you use the pkg utility, you must copy the Oracle_GlassFish_Server_3_Support.key.pem key file and the Oracle_GlassFish_Server_3_Support.certificate.pem certificate file to a location accessible from the host where Oracle GlassFish Server is installed.
On the host where Oracle GlassFish Server is installed, navigate to the parent installation directory:
cd as-install-parent
The default parent installation directory is glassfish3.
Use the pkg set-publisher command to change the repository URL:
On Unix systems (including Mac OS), where backslash (\) is the command line continuation character:
bin/pkg set-publisher -P \ -k path-to-key-file/Oracle_GlassFish_Server_3_Support.key.pem \ -c path-to-certificate-file/Oracle_GlassFish_Server_3_Support.certificate.pem \ -O https://pkg.oracle.com/glassfish/v3/support release.glassfish.oracle.com
On Windows systems, where caret (^) is the command line continuation character:
bin\pkg set-publisher -P ^ -k path-to-key-file\Oracle_GlassFish_Server_3_Support.key.pem ^ -c path-to-certificate-file\Oracle_GlassFish_Server_3_Support.certificate.pem ^ -O https://pkg.oracle.com/glassfish/v3/support release.glassfish.oracle.com

For GlassFish Server Open Source Edition installations, stable.glassfish.org is the preferred publisher.
GlassFish Server provides the following tools for updating software on a deployed server:
Update Tool is a standalone graphical tool bundled with GlassFish Server that can be used to find and install updates and add-ons on a deployed GlassFish Server instance.
To start Update Tool, type the following command:
as-install-parent/bin/updatetool
For instructions for using Update Tool, see the Update Tool online help.
For additional information about Update Tool, see the following wikis:
pkg CommandThe pkg command is the command-line equivalent to Update Tool. Most of the tasks that can be performed with the graphical Update Tool can be performed from a command line using the pkg tool.
The pkg command is located in the as-install-parent/bin directory. To run the pkg command without specifying the path, ensure that this directory is in your path.
The pkg command enables you to create update scripts and to update software on headless systems. A headless system does not have a monitor, graphics card, or keyboard.
Most of the procedures in this chapter are based on the pkg command. A set of reference pages that contain details about using the pkg command is included with GlassFish Server in the as-install-parent/pkg/man directory.
The Administration Console enables you to perform the following tasks that are related to extending and updating GlassFish Server:
Installing add-on components
Viewing available updates to installed components
Viewing installed components
For more information, see the Administration Console online help.
Note:
The Administration Console does not enable you to update or remove installed components. Instead, you must stop the GlassFish Server domain and use Update Tool or the pkg command.
When the Administration Console starts, it automatically checks the package repositories for updates to installed components. In situations where the GlassFish Server host does not have access to the package repositories, you can disable this automatic check by setting a JVM option:
asadmin> create-jvm-options -Dcom.sun.enterprise.tools.admingui.NO_NETWORK=true
After setting this JVM option, restart the domain.
This section provides instructions for using the pkg command to install GlassFish Server add-on components on your deployed GlassFish Server.
The pkg command enables you to install an add-on component on your system. If multiple versions of a package are available, the latest one is applied unless you specify otherwise. The pkg command, located in the as-install-parent/bin directory,
Note:
If the pkg component, the updatetool component, or any other valid component that you try to invoke from the command line is not yet installed on your deployed GlassFish Server, you will receive a query asking if you want to install the component. Answer Y to install the component.
GlassFish Server 3.1.2 must be fully deployed before you can install additional components. If you need installation instructions, see the Oracle GlassFish Server Installation Guide.
To ensure that the pkg command can locate the application image, change to the base installation directory for GlassFish Server.
cd as-install
The as-install is the base installation directory for GlassFish Server.

GlassFish Server might be installed on a machine without an Internet connection. For example, for security reasons, GlassFish Server might be installed behind a restrictive firewall, or it might be installed on a LAN that is physically isolated from other networks. In such situations, neither the graphical Update Tool nor the pkg command-line utility that are included with GlassFish Server can contact a public repository server to download and install updates. Therefore, a local repository server must be configured inside the closed network and the GlassFish Server updates installed from there.
The following topics are addressed here:
Installing the Pre-Installed Toolkit Image inside a closed network
The Pre-Installed Toolkit Image provides the software components that are required to run a local repository server inside a closed network. See To Install the Pre-Installed Toolkit Image Inside a Closed Network.
Configuring and running a local repository server on a locally accessible host
A local repository server makes it possible for a GlassFish Server installation to obtain packages and updates from inside a closed network rather than from the default public repository servers. See To Configure a Local Repository Server Inside a Closed Network.
Configuring a GlassFish Server installation to obtain updates from the local repository server
Each GlassFish Server installation that will be updated inside a closed network must be configured to use a local repository server instead of the default public repository servers. See To Configure a GlassFish Server Installation to Use a Local Repository Server Inside a Closed Network.
Installing the GlassFish Server updates
The GlassFish Server updates inside the closed network are performed normally, but use the local repository server instead of the public repository servers. See To Install Updates From a Local Repository.
The Pre-Installed Toolkit Image provides the software components that are required to configure and run a local repository server inside a closed network. Running a local repository server makes it possible for a GlassFish Server installation to obtain packages and updates from within the closed network rather than from the default public GlassFish Server repositories.
The first three steps of this procedure require access to a machine that is connected to the Internet. This machine must also be able to write to some type of removable medium, such as CD, DVD, USB drive, or flash memory card.
The remaining steps in the procedure are performed on the machines that are inside the closed network, and do not require access to an Internet connection.
In a Web browser on the machine that is connected to the Internet, open the Pre-installed Toolkit Images and Starter Repositories page.
Download the ZIP file that contains the Pre-Installed Toolkit Image that is correct for your server's operating system and save it to the location of your choice.
The ZIP files are named according to operating system and architecture, using the following format:
pkg-toolkit-2.3.3-platform-arch.zip
For example, the ZIP file for 32-bit Linux operating systems is named:
pkg-toolkit-2.3.3-linux-i386.zip
Download the correct ZIP file for the operating system and architecture on each of the following machines:
The machine on which the local repository server will be run
Each machine on which one or more GlassFish Server installations will be updated inside the closed network
Copy each Pre-Installed Toolkit Image ZIP file to a removable medium that you can physically transport to the machines inside the closed network.
Copy the correct Pre-Installed Toolkit Image ZIP file for each operating system from the removable medium to the directories of your choice on the following machines:
The machine on which the local repository server will be run
Each machine on which one or more GlassFish Server installations will be updated inside the closed network
Unzip the Pre-Installed Toolkit Image ZIP file on each machine to which you copied the ZIP file in the preceding step.
The size of the expanded Pre-Installed Toolkit Image ZIP file depends on the operating system:
On Windows systems, the expanded ZIP file is approximately 11 Mbytes.
On Linux and Solaris systems, the expanded ZIP file is approximately 13 Mbytes.
On each machine to which you copied the Pre-Installed Toolkit Image, verify that the pkg command-line tool is correctly installed.
Change to the pkg/bin subdirectory of the directory that contains the unzipped Pre-Installed Toolkit Image.
cd toolkit-dir/pkg/bin
The toolkit-dir is the directory that contains the unzipped Pre-Installed Toolkit Image.
Display the pkg version.
./pkg version
Output similar to the following is displayed:
1.122.2-38.2791
A local repository server makes it possible for a GlassFish Server installation to obtain packages and updates from within a closed network, rather than from the default public repository servers.
Ensure that the following conditions are met:
You have access to a machine that is connected to the Internet.
The machine that is connected to the Internet can write to some type of removable medium, such as CD, DVD, USB drive, or flash memory card.
The Pre-Installed Toolkit Image has been installed as described in To Install the Pre-Installed Toolkit Image Inside a Closed Network.
In a Web browser on the machine that is connected to the Internet, download the ZIP file that contains the GlassFish Server repository for the operating system on which GlassFish Server is running.
The repository ZIP files for GlassFish Server are distributed as patches through the My Oracle Support Web site.
Log in to the My Oracle Support site.
Click the Patches & Updates tab.
Enter the desired patch number in the Patch Name or Number field and then click Search.
| Operating System | Patch ID |

A list of patches appears at the bottom of the page.
Download the ZIP file for the latest version of the desired patch.
Copy each ZIP file that you downloaded from My Oracle Support onto a removable medium that you can physically transport to the local repository server.
Each My Oracle Support ZIP file is approximately 270 Mbytes in size.
Copy each My Oracle Support ZIP file from the removable medium to the local repository server machine.
The directory used for the My Oracle Support ZIP files should be different than the directory in which the Pre-Installed Toolkit Image was copied, as described in To Install the Pre-Installed Toolkit Image Inside a Closed Network.
Unzip each My Oracle Support ZIP file that you copied in the preceding step.
The My Oracle Support ZIP files are wrappers that contain a GlassFish Server repository ZIP file, a README file, and a license file. For example, the My Oracle Support ZIP file for Linux contains the following files:
LEGAL_LICENSE.TXT README.145093-01 ogs-3.0.1-repo-linux-i386.zip
In this example, the GlassFish Server repository ZIP file is named ogs-3.0.1-repo-linux-i386.zip.
Unzip the My Oracle Support ZIP file.
For example:
unzip 145093-01
Change to the directory that was created when the My Oracle Support ZIP file was unzipped.
For example:
cd 145093-01
Unzip the GlassFish Server repository ZIP file.
For example:
unzip ogs-3.0.1-repo-linux-i386.zip
On the local repository server machine, start the repository server daemon.
Change to the Pre-Installed Toolkit Image pkg/bin directory.
cd toolkit-dir/pkg/bin
The toolkit-dir is the directory that contains the unzipped Pre-Installed Toolkit Image.
Start the pkg.depotd daemon.
./pkg.depotd -d repository-dir -p port
The directory that contains the unzipped GlassFish Server repository.
Your choice of port number for requests to the repository server. The default is 80.
Several startup messages are displayed as the repository daemon initializes, as shown in the following example.
Example 11-1 Starting a Local Repository Daemon
This example starts the pkg.depotd daemon using the following parameters:
/opt/toolkitThe name of the Pre-Installed Toolkit Image directory.
/opt/145093-01/linux-i386/The GlassFish Server repository directory.
The port number used by the local repository daemon.
./pkg.depotd -d /opt/145093-01/linux-i386/ -p 30000

Each GlassFish Server installation that will be updated inside a closed network must be configured to use a local repository server instead of the default public repository servers.
This procedure must be completed on each GlassFish Server installation on which updates will be performed inside the closed network.
Ensure that the following conditions are met:
The Pre-Installed Toolkit Image is installed on each machine on which one or more GlassFish Server installations will be upgraded, as described in To Install the Pre-Installed Toolkit Image Inside a Closed Network
The local repository server is configured, as described in To Configure a Local Repository Server Inside a Closed Network
Set the http_proxy environment variable for the local repository server, if necessary.
This step is required if a proxy is needed to access the local repository from within the closed network.
export http_proxy=proxy-host:port
The fully qualified URL for the proxy host.
The port on which the proxy-host listens.
Change to the GlassFish Server installation directory.
cd as-install
The as-install is the path to the directory that contains the GlassFish Server installation that is to be updated.
Note:
The remainder of this procedure must be performed from within the GlassFish Server installation directory.
Use the pkg command in the Pre-Installed Image Toolkit installation directory to tell the GlassFish Server installation to use the local repository server.
toolkit-dir/pkg/bin/pkg -R as-install set-publisher -Pe -O http://repo-host:port publisher
The directory that contains the unzipped Pre-Installed Toolkit Image.
The path to the directory that contains the GlassFish Server installation that is to be updated.
The name of the server on which the pkg.depotd repository server daemon is running.
The port used for the pkg.depotd daemon, as specified in To Configure a Local Repository Server Inside a Closed Network.
The name of the preconfigured GlassFish Server publisher. For GlassFish Server, use release.glassfish.oracle.com as the publisher.
Verify that the local GlassFish Server repository is configured correctly.
toolkit-dir/pkg/bin/pkg publisher
The name of the of the local server repository and publisher should be listed, as shown in the following example.
Example 11-2 Configuring the pkg Command to Use a Local Repository
This example configures a GlassFish Server installation to use a local repository server. The following parameters are used:
/opt/glassfishThe GlassFish Server installation directory.
/opt/toolkitThe Pre-Installed Toolkit Image directory.
repohostThe host name of the local repository server.
The port number used by the repository server.
/opt/toolkit/pkg/bin/pkg -R /opt/glassfish set-publisher -P --enable \ -O http://repohost:30000 release.glassfish.oracle.com # /opt/toolkit/pkg/bin/pkg publisher PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS URI release.glassfish.oracle.com (preferred) origin online http://repohost:30000/
After configuring a GlassFish Server installation to use a local repository server, as described in the previous procedures in this section, GlassFish Server updates inside a closed network are performed normally. The only difference is that the GlassFish Server installation being updated inside the closed network will use a local repository server instead of the public repository servers.
Perform the following procedure on each GlassFish Server installation that will be updated.
Ensure that each GlassFish Server installation that will be updated is configured to use the local repository server, as described in To Configure a GlassFish Server Installation to Use a Local Repository Server Inside a Closed Network.
Stop GlassFish Server.
See To Stop a Domain.
Change to the GlassFish Server installation directory.
cd as-install
Note:
The remainder of this procedure must be performed from within the GlassFish Server installation directory.
Use either the graphical Update Tool or the pkg command-line utility to perform the desired updates.
