Setting the Class Path

To enable your applications to locate the class libraries for embedded GlassFish Server, add one of the following JAR files to your class path:

glassfish-embedded-web.jar

Contains classes needed for deploying Java EE web applications. Download this file from http://download.java.net/maven/glassfish/org/glassfish/extras/.

glassfish-embedded-all.jar

Contains classes needed for deploying all Java EE application types. Download this file from http://download.java.net/maven/glassfish/org/glassfish/extras/.

glassfish-embedded-static-shell.jar

Contains references to classes needed for deploying all Java EE application types. Must be used with a nonembedded installation of GlassFish Server. Obtain this file from the as-install/glassfish/lib/embedded directory of a nonembedded GlassFish Server installation. For an explanation of as-install, see Installation Root Directory.

In addition, add to the class path any other JAR files or classes upon which your applications depend. For example, if an application uses a database other than Java DB, include the Java DataBase Connectivity (JDBC^TM) driver JAR files in the class path.
