GlassFish is an application server that can also function as a web server (HTTP server).
A web server handles HTTP requests, typically from browsers. As a servlet container, GlassFish can manage Java Servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSP).
The initial tasks involved in configuring GlassFish Server to connect to an enterprise information system (EIS) include creating a connector connection pool, defining connector resources, configuring resource adapters, and setting up security mappings.
These components allow GlassFish to manage connections, handle application requests, and ensure secure communication between your applications and backend systems.
GlassFish is a Java application server originally developed by Sun Microsystems.
It enables developers to build scalable enterprise applications and integrate additional services based on their needs.
The default port for GlassFish Server is 8080, while the administration console runs on port 4848.
