Glassfish V2 and Atlassian's Jira and Confluence
Hi,
just want to let you know some great news about Glassfish V2. I am one of the lucky ones using Atlassian's collaboration tools Jira and Confluence. Until last week I've run the standalone versions which use tomcat. I had several mroe collaboration tools running on different servers which has been difficult to operate and administrate and wasted a lot of resources. Now I've deployed most of the stuff I need on Glassfish V2 b41c (running on JDK 1.6.0)
I've read the following blog Jira and Glassfish describing how to install and configure Jira. That was very helpful. Deploying Confluence is even easier. Everything is straigt forward. I had nothing to tweak. I am using Oracle and had to copy the ojdbc.jar into Glassfish's root lib. Then I've created the JDBC connection pool and resources. I used jdbc/ConfluenceDS and jdbc/JiraDS. Then I've edited the following files:
- /confluence/WEB-INF/classes/confluence-init.properties.
- .../entityengine.xml
There is still one tool left which currently does not run on Glassfish. It's Polarion's "svnwebclient". This is a very cool subversion web client which you can download here. Deployment works, but the configuration for the subversion repository is not being detected correctly. Therefore I've used Tomcat 6.

I am new to Confluence and Glassfish and am attempting to deploy the confluence war through the admin console. I have updated the confluence-init.properties file with my confluence.home directory, but do not have a entityengine.xml file. I am attempting to just get it initially deployed and then plan to setup the Oracle connection pool later.
I've been following the install directions on the Confluence website and it says to create a confluence.xml file with context information for Tomcat. Is there an equivalent file I need to create to make it work on Glassfish? I have attempted to deploy without one and have been unsuccessful. I get the following error:
