NB7.3.1 and GF4.0 --- How to Get JavaDB Work?

I installed NetBeans 7.3.1 with GlassFish 4.0 on Windows 7 platform. Wrote web Application and as I try deploying , it gave two problems.

1. I could not start Java DB(Derby Database). I had previous install at a different location, that was one reason. Java DB start option was disabled.
Fix :

• In NetBeans IDE
• Select the Services Window -> databse
• Expand the Database Node
• Select Java DB, click RMB (Right Mouse Button) and select Properties
• Specify the folder where Java DB is installed (GlassFish install location\javadb) and Click OK
• Java DB server will start now

2.  GlassFish Server did not start, error message "GlassFish Server 4.0 cannot start port is occupied" was displayed in error dialog box.

Fix:

• To check for busy ports
• Open Command window Start -> Run -> cmd
• At the command prompt 
• netstat -aon
• it showed port 8080 busy

• In NetBeans IDE Services Window
• Expand Server Node
• Select GlassFish Server, Click RMB and select Properties
• Look for the Domain Folder

•  Note down the path of Domain folder
• In windows explorer fo to the folder specified in the Domains Folder
• domains folder will have domains1\config which has domain.xml file
• open C:\glassfish-4.0\glassfish\domains\domain1\config\domain.xml file in an editor
• search for 8080 and replace it with desired port

• Save the edited file
•  Currently present GlassFish server in NetBeans is configured to listen on port 8080
• Remove this server from NetBeans
• Select the GlassFish Server in NetBeans Services window, click RMB and select Remove

• To add newly configured Server
• Select Servers node in Services window
• Click RMB and select Add Server
• In Choose Server Window, select GlassFish Server and click Next Button
• In Server Location Window, click browse button and select GlassFish installation directory, in this case it is C:\glassfish-4.0 and click Next Button
• In Domain Location Window, accept the default values and click Finish
• GlassFish server has been added to netBeans with newly configured port to listen
• Start the Server... Enjoy !!!
• Its Up and Running :)
