在Glassfish服务器上运行应用程序时，Eclipse无法打开浏览器

Question

I am running eclipse Luna with glassfish 4.1 .

Everything seems to be running fine except when I use the option "Run As/Run on Server" the IDE does not open a browser to the context root of the application, like I would expect. Glassfish is started and the application deployed successfully but no browser is opened.

If I do the same to a TomCat server a browser is opened to the context root of the application. I can open a browser manually and type the URL and it works as expected but I would really like the time savings of this happening automatically.

Answer 1

Inside your Eclipse, click in "Window" -> Web Browser -> Choose your browser .

Then right-click your project and run it.

Tested it with Eclipse Kepler, everything working correctly.

Answer 2

Put file glassfish-web.xml in WEB-INF folder.

glassfish-web.xml content:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

   <!DOCTYPE glassfish-web-app PUBLIC "-//GlassFish.org//DTD GlassFish Application Server 3.1    Servlet 3.0//EN" "http://glassfish.org/dtds/glassfish-web-app_3_0-1.dtd">
  <glassfish-web-app>
  <context-root>/yourapp</context-root>
 </glassfish-web-app>

Answer 3

Well I even reinstalled eclipse and the glassfish pluggin, to no avail. But it did discover I can open the browser to the root context from the Servers pain, by right clicking on the deployed application and selecting "Open in Browser". That works for me.
