That would make everything so much simpler. Unfortunately we're still on
v2.1 so we can't leverage this yet.

It isn't pretty but it seems to work. The core parts of our manifest are
below:
exec { "DownloadGlassfish":
cwd => "$download_dir",
command => "wget $download_url",
creates => "$download_dir/$prg_tarball",
}
exec { "InstallGlassfish":
cwd => "$download_dir",
command => "echo 'A' | java -Xmx256m -jar $prg_tarball; mv glassfish
$installed; chmod -R +x $installed/lib/ant/bin; rm $installed/setup.xml",
user => pulse,
creates => "$installed",
require => [Exec["DownloadGlassfish"], File["/etc/init.d/glassfish"]],
}
exec { "ConfigureGlassfish":
cwd => "$installed",
command => "$installed/lib/ant/bin/ant -f setup.xml;
$installed/setup_glassfish_for_pulse.sh",
user => pulse,
group => pulse,
creates => "$installed/domains",
require => [File["/opt/glassfish/setup.xml"],
File["/opt/glassfish/setup_glassfish.sh"]],
logoutput => true,
}
Essentially we've scripted the standard install and then have a script full
of asadmin commands to configure Glassfish specific to our
needs/environment. Really this should all be done by managing the
domain.xml which we've templatized now that we're getting more comfortable
with Puppet. But even managing the domain.xml is proving to be difficult
because of how Glassfish reads and writes the domain.xml file on start and
stop.
I'm beginning to feel a custom resource is the way to go as well but there
are enough things about Glassfish which we find annoying that we might move
away from it rather than do that work. If anyone else is starting to delve
into it though I'd be up for sharing our experiences and do what we can to
help it come into being.
thanks,
