howto install & configure glassfish in squeeze

weedlight

I'm trying to get glassfish to run but I don't know how to do it. I saw packages in the repository but when installing them I didn't get any init scripts like with tomcat.

- Do I need apache web server or something similar to get it to run?

With tomcat you have no need to do so.

- When looking at the installed files I recognized that there are some *.pom files. Should I run `mvn install` in a certain directory?
