# A dockerized glassfish 3.1.2.2 on jdk8
### RESULTS: Glassfish 3 runs on jdk 8, but cannot deploy ears compiled in jdk 8 class file format
## Prerequisites
* GNU make
* curl
* docker
## Usage
```bash
make run
```
... wait for server and point your browser to https://localhost:4848/. (Accept the insecure certificate :/)
## Step 1: Make glassfish 3 start on jdk 8
The makefile downloads glassfish 3.1.2.2, applies the following patches and converts it to a tgz:
* fix osgi config glassfish3/glassfish/config/osgi.properties to run with jdk 8
```
jre-1.8=${jre-1.7}
```
So glassfish3 is able to start on jdk 8.
On container start insecure tls algorithms will be be reenabled to make the admin console work.
## Step 2: Glassfish 3 still cannot load jdk 8 compiled code
A possible fix is:
* replace asm-all 3.3 with 5.2 (which is jdk 8 class file format ready) in glassfish3/glassfish/modules/asm-all-repackaged.jar
UNFORTUNATELY THIS DOES NOT WORK!
