To Install the Global RAR for the TCP/IP JCA Adapter

1. Start the GlassFish application server.

2. Access Admin Console by pointing your browser at http://localhost:4848

   If your application server is running on a remote machine, and/or uses a port other than 4848 for administration, make the appropriate changes to the URL.

3. Log in to Admin Console.

4. In the Common Tasks pane on the left side, expand Applications -> Connector Modules.

   If “sun-tcpip-adapter” appears in the list, the RAR has already been installed.

5. In the “Deploy Enterprise Applications/Modules” pane, do the following and then click OK.

   1. For Type, retain “Connector Module (.rar)”

   2. For Location, retain “Packaged file to be uploaded to server”.

   3. Click Browse and navigate to the location of the sun-tcpip-adapter.rar file.

      This is by default located in .../AdapterPack/Runtime/adapters/.

      

6. In the “Edit Resource Adapter Properties” pane, you can optionally supply or edit properties. Then click Finish.

   Result: Once you have deployed the global RAR onto the application server, you will be able to see it in the NetBeans IDE under Servers -> GlassFish V2 -> Applications -> Connector Module:
