Getting Started with GlassFish

Question

This is a question for all you GlassFish users out there, in hopes that this can be a reference for future searches. I'm new to GlassFish, and am looking for a good place to get nice introduction. Can you direct me to some nice references or Hello World type of projects?

In my case, I'm using the GlassFish plugin for Eclipse and hoping to use GlassFish as a server for some Java projects and would especially like references that pertain to this. I'll accept the first answer that gives a really good example or links to a really good example of this.

Here are some decent references I have found so far:

• Example (from Blog Post) Using Enterprise Java Beans
• GlassFish Official Project Site
• GlassFish Wiki
• Hello World Eclipse with GlassFish on Code Ranch

I found some fairly nice tutorials from Oracle on YouTube, but they're not quite the simple Hello World I'm looking for:

1. Java EE 6 Development using GlassFish and Eclipse - guides you through getting the plugin, initial server setup, and creation of a servelet.
2. Building Web Apps with GlassFish and Java EE 6 -

Answer 1

Take a look at the book:

Beginning Java EE 6 with GlassFish 3

There are tons of simple examples inside.
