Is there an option/parameter to deploy an application client with java-web-start enabled with the asadmin command? I work with GlassFish 3.1.1.
I have a jar-file which works well, when I deploy it in the webgui
Type: "Application Client"
Java-Web-Start [x]
I look for something like this:
asadmin deploy --type application --property java-web-start-enabled=true /path/to/jar/file/myApp.jar
An "Application Client" deployed in the glassfish can only started by java-web-start, when the jar-file is signed. So when I deploy it with the "glassfish web administration console", the jar-file is signed and everything works as expected. When I deploy it throught a script (for example jenkins), the web start parameter doesn't work and the files aren't signed. The result: java web start doesn't work.
Solution: I sign the jar file with a maven plugin. For that, I first had to import the Glassfish certificate into the keystore
keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore "../../glassfish/domains/domain1/config/keystore.jks"
The pom-file with the "maven-jarsigner-plugin" plugin looks like:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jarsigner-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
<configuration>
<alias>s1as</alias>
<storepass>changeit</storepass>
<keypass>changeit</keypass>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>sign</id>
<goals>
<goal>sign</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>verify</id>
<goals>
<goal>verify</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Now I can deploy the application with a asadmin deployment script, and java-web-start is enabled!
