Re: Glassfish 3.0.1 on the AS/400.

[Pete Helgren <pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

 The jruby instructions are pretty straightforward because it uses the 
gem installer:

jruby -s gem install glassfish

That was all I remember doing besides starting glassfish at it's 
assigned port. Alas, the Oracle acquisition has further affected the 
glassfish gem which is no longer supported since the Oracle acquisition:

I *have* made some progress on running Glassfish on i but still sorting 
through issues. I no longer get a dump of garbage when I start the 
domain. I can start the asadmin instance but when I invoke the 
'start-domain domain1' command I get an error about a configuration 
issue and I haven't had the opportunity to run it down. I have been most 
successful in running the Glassfish commands from either SSH or qp2term. 
When I sort things out I'll post back.
