Installing GlassFish ESB Silently Using CLI

You can use the GlassFish ESB command-line installation script to perform a complete installation silently. A silent installation means that you will not interact with the Installer, nor will you see the process unless you open the directory to which you are installing.

In order to perform a silent installation, you must first generate the .xml state file. For more information, see Generating the State File for Silent Installations.

GlassFish ESB does not support spaces in the installation directory path.
