I have an application that is currently running on JBoss AS but does not work on Glassfish. I'm trying to work through the documentation here but I'm having trouble figuring out things like what the file structure of the application should be and what (if any) additional files are needed. This documentation also refers to examples but to get the examples you need to install Netbeans and access an update tool tied to the glassfish instance installed with Netbeans. When I do this the server won't start, the update tool won't run, and I can't get the examples. Is there an easy way to get these examples (e.g. a simple download)? I've found other examples such as this one, but they are also dependent upon Netbeans.
Is there a simple and complete ejb/servlet example for Glassfish that can be simply downloaded and does not depend upon Netbeans or other IDE?
The obvious example is the Java EE CargoTracker. It was written to show what a "real" application might look like with pure Java EE APIs so should work on both JBoss and GlassFish. You will need Maven installed to build and run it, but there are more complete details in the readme for the project. Note that some of the information is a little out of date (mostly links to java.net which has been sunset in favour of a GitHub site) but the application itself is still a good example of Java EE 7 APIs.
