what is the web server in glassfish application server? - java

Can someone tell me the name of the web server embedded in glassfish. I know there are web servers like apache/jersey/jetty. Which one is embedded inside glassfish by default? Thank you.

Glassfish uses Grizzly framework for web server. See Project Grizzly for reference. Refer your server logs when it starts, it says about Grizzly framework there.

Is it possible to consume a web service deployed in glassfish by an application on client side using apache tomcat?

this may be two questions in one, so...Sorry, please correct me if I'm wrong.
I have to deploy a web service developed with JPA, JSP and Glassfish 3.1.2, in a machine which only has apache Tomcat 7 as server installed on Windows 7.
I don't really know how apache can connect to the database externally, or if that is really possible if you don't use TomEE.
I know in Glassfish you can have a connection pool and a jdbc resource, and if you're using JPA, that's how the connection to database works(kindof), so you can deploy the .war file. But, if you only have a Tomcat and the app is using JPA, so it does not connect itself to the database(It does not have a class with a connection credentials), How can I achieve this?
Or, Can I deploy the .war of the web service on Glassfish and then be consumed by an application that only works with apache Tomcat on client side? Am I mixing concepts which should not be mixed?
Any enlightenment is highly appreciated.
You can use Tomcat with JPA, you can even use it in a standalone java application. Define a persistence unit name in persistence.xml, make sure the transaction type is RESOURCE_LOCAL (you can't use JTA in Tomcat, make sure to check this), and get a reference to the EM using the following
EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("persistenceUnitName");
em = emf.createEntityManager();
Finally, add the jpa provider jars to Tomcat, there are examples for that (I've never done it, but I'm sure some Tomcat expert could lend a hand)
The other option could also work, that is consume your webservice using a client deployed on another server
Good luck!
If your application uses advanced Java EE functionality (JTA, CDI), it won't work on Tomcat. If it uses JSTL, you will have to add a JSTL library to the tomcat installation. Read the docs, it should be stated somewhere, but I would not simply deploy the war to a tomcat.
If you just want to develop a relay webapp that consumes a webservice and displays the results, it will run on tomcat independantly of where the webservice runs.

Does jboss act as both application and web server?

I am creating a JavaEE Web Application which uses ExtJS4(Extended Javascript) for the GUI and Postgres database. I am planning to use the JBoss7 server. But I had a doubt that whether the JBoss 7 will act both as App Server and Web Server..?? Can anyone please help me with this..?
Also, I wanted to know if there is anything else that is required for developing the application?
Thanks in advance

How jetty server can be integrated with apache server?

I am developing an web application where some existing part is written already in php and for that apache server is being used. But now i have to complete rest of module in Java using jetty web server. Is there any way to integrate jetty webserver with existing apache webserver so that i can simply deploy as war file?
Yes, of course. Jetty is a servlet container similar to tomcat. There are instructions here:

Configuring JBoss Web Server to connect to JBoss AS

I am trying to configure JBoss Web Server to connect to JBoss AS. We have a JBoss Web Server installed and configured on one machine, and JBoss AS installed and configured on another machine. How do i configure my JBoss Web Server so that when i call some url mapped to web server, it will redirect me to actual application deployed on JBoss AS. I tried to search on the web for the same, but couldn't find the specifics. This might be a very simple scenario, but i am novice in configuring it. Can somebody help me over here?
Depends on kind of application you have on your JBoss AS server: EJB or web application.
If this is EJB application then create EJB client in your Servlet or JSP page or Servlet Filter or whatever else is used on JBoss Web Server. That client would call EJB component on JBoss AS.
If on JBoss AS server you have also web application, then simply redirect request to the JBoss AS or

How to configure CXF web services so that Glassfish can monitor them

We deploy web services implemented by using the CXF framework on the Glassfish application server. Glassfish has the possibility to monitor Web Services deployed on the server through it's management console.
We would like to be able to use these monitor features of Glassfish towards the web services implemented by using CXF, but when we deploy the web service application, the services isn't available through the Glassfish management console.
Does anyone know how to configure the CXF web services so they show up in Glassfish's management console?
There are some docs at:
http://cxf.apache.org/docs/jmx-management.html
about how to enable the JMX instrumentation in CXF. There are a couple things missing there however. With 2.2.3 and newer, there are some new properties on the InstrumentationManagerImpl bean that can tell it to NOT create a new MBean server and connection and stuff an hopefully use the platform supplied one.
<usePlatformMBeanServer>true</usePlatformMBeanServer>
will just call:
mbs = ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer();
which will hopefully get the default GlassFish MBS.
<createMBServerConnectorFactory>false</createMBServerConnectorFactory>
would not create a new connector.
Also, if you can get a handle on the GlassFish MBS from the spring context, (spring probably has ways to do it), you can set the "server" property to the actual MBeanServer.
