GlassFish V3 admin console taking too much time to load.

If you have installed Glassfish V3 and trying to load admin console, but after signing in, is it taking too much time to get to the main page ? Do you have server.log entry like this: admin console: initSessionAttributes() Cannot refresh Catalog : Connection timed out then its time to tweak some files. Here its how: 1. Update the %GLASSFISH_HOME/glassfish/domains/domain1/domain.xml -Dcom.sun.enterprise.tools.admingui.NO_NETWORK=true This will block up the News item, the registration item, etc 2. Remove update tool jar (Backup and remove this JAR) %GLASSFISH_HOME/glassfish/modules/console-updatecenter-plugin.jar Delete this dir: %GLASSFISH_HOME/glassfish/domains/domain1/osgi-cache %GLASSFISH_HOME/glassfish/domains/domain1/generated Now start the server (bin/asadmin start-domain) and you will see the admin console won't be hang up and take you directly to main page.

Remove port 8080 from URL (pretty easy) Open CATLINA_HOME/conf/server.xml and search for number 8080 and replace by 80, save it and you're done. But wait, if you restarted the tomcat, it will throw exception, like ‘JVM_bind: port 80 is a...
