Background service on a Glassfish server - service

is it possible to run a background service/daemon on a glassfish server?
Best,
T
Edit:
To clarify things: I mean a daemon like a windows service, that runs in the background and gets triggered by an event.

Glassfish is Java EE container, so you can deploy any Java EE service: EJB, Webservices, JMS, etc.
If you don't want to be bound by Java EE restrictions you could develop Java application, deploy it as OSGI bundle and listen to any events available to Java Runtime.

What's the differences between JBoss Web Server and JBoss EAP for running Redhat Decision Manager?

I'm researching how to deploy RedHat Decision Manger right now, there are two options for running enviroment, JBoss Web Server and JBoss EAP. But I'm new for JBoss and don't know what's the differences between them and which one is more suitable with Decision Manager for production enviroment?
JBoss web server is a server used to deploy web applications, whereas EAP is an application server which can be used also to deploy Java EE compatible applications. EAP gives many more features like messaging, RMI, EJB etc. apart from features provided by Web server.
Which one is better will depend on your use case.

How do i deploy my wicket project?

i am new to web development and i created a wicket app on my local computer. i have a server running apache 2.0, maven and open jdk. Its an ubuntu server with only command line.
Any help would be wonderful.
Thank you
You cannot run the wicket app by itself; like any java servlet it has to be run on a servlet container.
There are many containers to choose from, the ones I most commonly come across are
Tomcat
GlassFish
Jetty
You need to install one of containers like that to convert the HTTP requests into java. Once you have one of them installed and running, you can deploy your wicket web-app in it.

GWT Deployment to JBoss

I am currently working on a project which has a GWT frontend and a seperate Java module with servlets and a REST interface on the backend. The project when deployed runs on a single JBoss server.
I am running into difficulties though as when I run the GWT app in hosted mode (in eclipse) the jetty server does not have a deployed Java module to interact with.
My idea was to setup a JBoss server which eclipse could deploy into for development purposes, the problem with this is that the installer for the product sets up a JBoss server with a GWT app already embedded in it, so redeploying into this JBoss instance might cause problems?
My other idea would be to create a second JBoss server to host the GWT app, with some sort of url redirect for the rest calls which would redirect to the first JBoss instance. Is this possible?
EDIT: Can I do this with the built in jetty server in eclipse and not have to worry about using a seperate JBoss server. In other words can I somehow get the jetty server in eclipse to redirect particular requests to a different URL?

Deploy JBOSS FUSE 6 as service on application server

I want to deploy JBoss FUSE as war or in any other way on application server (Tomcat for example). In documentation for the old version (3.5) of FUSE there was described a simple way for doing that by running special maven project from examples folder.
But for later releases I just can't find any information about possibility of doing that. I thought that deploying ESB as a service on application server is standard way of working with it, but I only found tutorials for installing FUSE as standalone instance or system service.
I would like to know how can I deploy it or why I can't do this if thats the case.
This is no longer supported. JBoss Fuse 6.x is a standalone application that has its own container (based on Apache Karaf).
The current 6.x release requires running on top of Apache Karaf.
Though we have plans to make Fuse (that would be Fuse Fabric) container agnostic so you in the
future would be able to run Fuse on JBoss AS, Tomcat, Karaf, Standalone, in the cloud, etc. Though we focus on JBoss AS, Tomcat, and Karaf as the main containers at first we aim to support.

What are the most important differences between full AppServer (like JBossAS) and Seam?

If client of the system is on the web there are no advantages JBossAS+Seam over Tomcat+Seam?
Your questions suggests you're confused about what is what.
Seam is a framework for building web applications in Java.
JBoss AS is a Java EE application server.
Tomcat is a Java servlet container.
You can run Seam on either JBoss or Tomcat.
Since JBoss is a full EE app. server, you get certain features like Enterprise Java Beans out of the box with JBoss.
With Tomcat, you don't, but this isn't usually a big concern since, for example, Spring framework can replace Java EE if you need that functionality.
It does matter what you use, since the majority of your system will be probably coded in the back end (server side Java).
If you want the minimum amount of hassle when using Seam, I'd suggest using JBoss since that company made Seam.
