GlassFish bundle with MySQL Community Server

[albinjoseph]

"Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 Update 1 with MySQL Community Server" bundle is available now for download

Bundle Features.

* MySQL Connector/J version 5.1-6 is included in this bundle. This JDBC Driver is installed under <Installation Directory>/lib to conveniently create a JDBC connection pool pointing to MySQL database through Glassfish's powerful Administration console.

* The installation program automatically creates an option file to be used by MySQL based on the size of target deployment environment. This option file can be used after installation without the need for modifications in most cases.

* To provide a better out-of-the box experience on windows platforms, Program Group items for Starting and Stopping MySQL Server are provided by the installer.
They are installed under "Programs > Sun Microsystems > Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 Update 1 with MySQL Community Server > ....".

Look for items titled "Start MySQL 5.0 Database" and "Stop MySQL 5.0 Database".

* A windows service by name "ASMySQL" will also be created if the user chooses to do so during installation. This service is configured with start-up mode set to "manual".

* The MySQL binaries included in this distribution are self-contained and do not interfere with other MySQL instances running on installing environment. This is accomplished by the installer generating an option file to be used for all of mysql command line programs. On Windows environment, the interfaces to start and stop MySQL(Windows Program Group/Items and Windows Service), are automatically configured to use the generated option file.
