GlassFish for Mac

Please check the comments to the original comment. It's not a problem - you just need to read the installation instructions: https://glassfish.dev.java.net/downloads/v2.1-b50.html

Same problem as SCOTTDB. Using Leopard, 10.5.3 updates installed.

I've tried to install the last 4 or 5 versions, but keep getting failures. Console says: .com.apple.JarLauncher[2224] Exception in thread "main" .com.apple.JarLauncher[2224] java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space .com.apple.JarLauncher[2224] at sun.misc.Resource.getBytes(Resource.java:75) .com.apple.JarLauncher[2224] at java.net.URLClassLoader.defineClass(URLClassLoader.java:256) .com.apple.JarLauncher[2224] at java.net.URLClassLoader.access$100(URLClassLoader.java:56) .com.apple.JarLauncher[2224] at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:195) .com.apple.JarLauncher[2224] at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) .com.apple.JarLauncher[2224] at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:188) .com.apple.JarLauncher[2224] at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:316) .com.apple.JarLauncher[2224] at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:280) .com.apple.JarLauncher[2224] at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:251) .com.apple.JarLauncher[2224] at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:374)

GlassFish works great as an application server. It has great JavaEE 5.0 support (consider the it is the reference implementation for the specification). It works well on MacOS X and MacOS X Server
