Today I will show you how to create Enterprise Application using Java EE 5 and GlassFish. I will use - Eclipse 3.5 + WTP - GlassFish v. 2.1 - JSF Mojarra implementation. - EJB 3.0. - JPA Toplink essentials implementation. - MySQL No NetBeans or JDeveloper magic involved :) The prerequirement is: Add datasource in glassfish. Read this how you can make this here: http://gochev.blogspot.com/2009/10/creating-datasource-in-glassfish-v-21.html 1) First you need to add glassfish in your eclipse. - Go to Servers View - Right Click, New - Choose GlassFish v 2.1 if you dont have glassfish click on Download additional adapters link choose glassfish wait and restart eclipse.
