A Glassfish command reference (cheat sheet)

Here's a copy of a Glassfish cheat sheet (reference page) that I always keep near me whenever I'm working with a Glassfish server. I like a lot of things about Glassfish, but trying to remember all of these commands for the Glassfish CLI is not one of my favorite things.

Here's my Glassfish command reference:

BASIC COMMANDS

CLUSTERS

list clusters                       asadmin list-clusters
delete a cluster                    asadmin delete-cluster cluster01
start a cluster                     asadmin start-cluster cluster01
stop a cluster                      asadmin stop-cluster cluster01

NODE AGENTS

list all node agents                asadmin list-node-agents
delete a node agent                 asadmin delete-node-agent nodeAgent1
stop a node agent                   asadmin stop-node-agent nodeAgent1

I hope this Glassfish cheat sheet helps you as much as it has helped me.

As one final note: You can just start up the Glassfish admin console like this:

asadmin

and then issue these commands from within the console, without the leading asadmin command. For example, you can start the console like this:

asadmin

and then list the Glassfish domains like this:

list-domains
