Adding a JDBC resource in GlassFish, alternative way

Unfortunately, the GlassFish console sometimes fails spectacularly when you try creating a resource with it. Here is another approach.

1. Open a console.
2. Run $GLASSFISH/bin/asadmin start-domain
   • If your GlassFish application server is already running, you don’t need this step.
3. Run $GLASSFISH/bin/asadmin create-jdbc-resource --connectionpoolid=DerbyPool RESOURCENAME
   • For the example, replace RESOURCENAME with jdbc/books__pm and jdbc/books__nontx
   • For your own projects, replace the jdbc/books parts above with your JTA data source, which is located in your project: JPA Content>persistence.xml, look inside the Source tab, see the jta-data-source element
