Create Windows Services for Multiple GlassFish Servers

Came up with some issues on configuring a new instance of Glassfish 4 when i already had a Glassfish 3 instance installed and running as a service.

The following are some steps to install both Glassfish 3 and 4 on a Windows Server environment:

1) Stop existing services

2) Change your existing service DisplayName if necessary. For this use (as an example, consider a existing domain1, the default name):

</pre>
sc config domain1 DisplayName= "GlassFish 3"

3) Go to the Glassfish bin folder and do:

</pre>
asadmin create-service --name "GlassFish3" domain1

4) Go to the domain bin folder and run the newly created service with the ‘start’ instruction.

5) Repeat steps 3 and 2 in this order for the GlassFish4 instance.

Cheers!
