Thanks for taking the time.

I was hoping that I had missed something in my reading around about how authentication worked. I guess basic authentication and managing credentials is the way to go.

Can I do something about the admin credentials in these calls?

I have some scripts which use these APIs but these require that I keep the admin credentials on the client. I have no problem with that. It is easy enough to create a file with hashed values, for example. My problem is the maintenance of copies of these credentials means more work.

I’m struggling to find any recommendations for a good approach.

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you got it going. :)

BTW, this is a great blog for Glassfish and REST api.

Here is the full curl command:
curl -k –user admin:admin -X POST -H ‘X-Requested-By: YeaGlassFish’ -d id=’test.war’ -d force=true https://localhost:4848/management/domain/applications/application

Here is the response:
File not found : C:\glassfish3\glassfish\domains\domain1\config\test.war

So I installed Glassfish and then enabled secure admin by issuing the command “enable-secure-admin” and then ran the deploying mechanism described above.
We installed another instance of Glassfish in another box and exhibit the same behavior.

Given the security update in 3.1.2, I’m wondering if there are additional setup steps that I might have missed that would cause this.

It’s used to work on 3.1.1

Any insights would be appreciated.

At the moment I really miss having (maintainable) scripted configuration of domains and instances for GlassFish 3.1.1 for multiple servers.

Besides that I was thinking about creating a REST client myself, primarily for monitoring though.
Will monitoring also be supported in the REST client?

Is there a chance that the REST client will become available for the GlassFish 3.x range?

public class Foo {
{
System.out.println(“instance”);
}

static {
System.out.println(“static”);
}

public Foo() {
System.out.println(“ctor”);
}

public static void main(String… args) {
Foo foo = new Foo();
}
}

$ javac Foo.java
$ java Foo
static
instance
ctor

Map map = ImmutableMap.of("a", 4, "b", 9);

For creating lists Arrays.asList is very useful:
asList(“foo”, “bar”, “baz”, “bob”)

someObject.someMethodThatTakesAList(Arrays.asList(“foo”, “bar”, “baz”, “bob”));

This will create an immutable List. If you want a mutable one, just wrap asList() in new ArrayList().
