java ee - Content of a dockerfile to run glassfish server and deploy specific application from a git repository -

i trying deploy java ee application using glassfish 4.1 server , deploy docker container.

as consequence, i'd writing correct docker download/start glassfish server , deploy application on it, using corresponding git repository.

currently able build docker container starting glassfish server following dockerfile:

from        java:8-jdk  env         java_home         /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64 env         glassfish_home    /usr/local/glassfish4 env         path              $path:$java_home/bin:$glassfish_home/bin  run         apt-get update && \             apt-get install -y curl unzip zip inotify-tools && \             rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*  run         curl -l -o /tmp/glassfish-4.1.zip http://download.java.net/glassfish/4.1/release/glassfish-4.1.zip && \             unzip /tmp/glassfish-4.1.zip -d /usr/local && \             rm -f /tmp/glassfish-4.1.zip  expose      8080 4848 8181  workdir     /usr/local/glassfish4  # verbose causes process remain in foreground docker can track cmd         asadmin start-domain --verbose 

then, build docker container (named 'myglassfish')

docker build -t myglassfish . 

finally, launch glassfish on port 8080 using following command line:

docker run -d -ti -p 4848:4848 -p 8080:8080 myglassfish 

the glassfish server correctly started because can see following information taping 'localhost:8080' on browser :

'your server running...' (i cannot display screenshot)

now, deploying web application on server, ideally using git repository of project (prefered solution) or war file export of application.

let's take simplest example, supposing want deploy war named myapp.war (in path /path1/path2/myapp.war) on server. next dockerfile correct (just add 'cmd asadmin deploy...' @ end of dockerfile)?

from        java:8-jdk  env         java_home         /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64 env         glassfish_home    /usr/local/glassfish4 env         path              $path:$java_home/bin:$glassfish_home/bin  run         apt-get update && \             apt-get install -y curl unzip zip inotify-tools && \             rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*  run         curl -l -o /tmp/glassfish-4.1.zip http://download.java.net/glassfish/4.1/release/glassfish-4.1.zip && \             unzip /tmp/glassfish-4.1.zip -d /usr/local && \             rm -f /tmp/glassfish-4.1.zip  expose      8080 4848 8181  workdir     /usr/local/glassfish4  # verbose causes process remain in foreground docker can track cmd         asadmin start-domain --verbose cmd         asadmin deploy /path1/path2/myapp.war 

if not, how should modify previous dockerfile load , deploy application in glassfish server before starting (i specify noob in linux , command line instructions please explicit in answers)?

edit

i able deploy war file git repository using following dockerfile:

from        java:8-jdk  maintainer  firstname name <firstname.name@domain.com>  env         java_home         /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64 env         glassfish_home    /usr/local/glassfish4 env         path              $path:$java_home/bin:$glassfish_home/bin  run         apt-get update && \             apt-get install -y curl unzip zip inotify-tools && \             rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*  #download , install glassfish server run         curl -l -o /tmp/glassfish-4.1.zip http://download.java.net/glassfish/4.1/release/glassfish-4.1.zip && \             unzip /tmp/glassfish-4.1.zip -d /usr/local && \             rm -f /tmp/glassfish-4.1.zip  #clone , deploy project on glassfish server run     git clone http://myrepository.git /usr/local/mypath run     cp /usr/local/mypath/myproject/myproject.war /usr/local/glassfish4/glassfish/domains/domain1/autodeploy/myproject.war  expose      8080 4848 8181  workdir     /usr/local/glassfish4  # verbose causes process remain in foreground docker can track cmd         asadmin start-domain --verbose 

this works (using docker build , docker run) dynamically create war file rather directly copy existing war file in repository.

i tried command line 'jar -cvf' create war archive repository directory 'classes' containing compiled java classes .class missing in war. consequence, war file generated cannot deployed. compiled class .class not present in git repository, how can them (i tried command 'javac' majority of classes not define main method)? concretely, need adding compilated class .class in directory 'classes' in war. should use maven repository this?

thanks advance!

the best approach (in opinion) create new image extends 'myglassfish' image , includes war file. image have tag matches application's release version. hope war file has been released maven repository, can download during image build. in case war file in local filesystem, copy image. 1 last thing, in case having trouble sharing files machine , boot2docker vm, boot2docker automatically shares users folder in vm. hope helpful. in case have more questions, shoot.
