Back to Basics - How to Deploy an Application on Payara Server / GlassFish 4.1

This is Part 2 of our Payara Server - Back to Basics series, see Part 1 - Installing Payara Server on Ubuntu here.


In order for a web application to run, it must be first deployed on an application server such as Payara Server.

This guide will provide you with a few different ways to get your application running.

Many of you will know of some of the common asadmin commands, such as start-domain, create-cluster, and change-admin-password, some of which I covered in a previous blog written for GlassFish (which still holds true for Payara Server).

Unfortunately, there is not a specific asadmin command for every configurable attribute in GlassFish or Payara Server. This is where dotted names, and the get, set, and list commands come in.
