how to set up the NetBeans environment for running Java EE 7 compilant JavaServer Faces with @ManagedBean annotation

若拿到使用 JavaServer Faces (JSF) 開發的套件，內含 @ManagedBean 註記，可依據附註的部落格，查出其合適的開發工具版本為 JSF 2.0 + GlassFish 3.x + JDK 6 + NetBeans 6.x 或 JSF 2.2 + GlassFish 4.x + JDK 7 + NetBeans 7.x。

若找不到JDK 6、JDK 7，支援 LTS (長期服務) 版本的 JDK 8 較好找，應該也可以。至於 NetBeans 版本似乎較不嚴苛，使用較新的 NetBeans 22 也是可以的，只是伺服器要安裝支援 Java EE 6 或 7 的 GlassFish 及 JDK 版本。其安裝步驟如下

1. 假設 NetBeans 要安裝 GlassFish 4.1.2 (內含符合Java EE 7 Web標準的JSF2.2) + JDK 8
      所須 JDK 8 如下:
        OpenJDK Zulu 8.0.442+6
        zulu8.84.0.15-ca-jdk8.0.442-win_x64.zip
        C:\Users\xx\Documents\NetBeansJDKs\zulu8.84.0.15-ca-jdk8.0.442-win_x64\

2. 開舊專案後，改伺服器選用 Java EE 7 Web 相容的 GlassFish 4.1.12

        Available Java EE 7 Web compatible servers:
          GlassFish Server 4
     【OK】

3. 啟動 GlassFish Server 4
      Window/Services/Servers: GlassFish Server 4
        GlassFish server couldn ot be started with JDK XX (Default).
        Please select another Java SE Platform.
        Java Platform: Zulu 8.0.442+6
     【OK】

       Windows Defender 允許 OpenJDK xxx 在這些網路上通訊:
       V 網域網路，例如工作場所網路
    【允許存取】

4. 安裝 GlassFish 4.1.2 步驟
    Tools/Servers:
       Add Server...
         Choose Server
           Server: GlassFish Server
           Name: GlassFish Server 4
       Next>
         Server Location
           Installation Location: C:\Users\xx\GlassFish_server4
           X Local Domain
           Choose server to download:
             GlassFish Server 4.1.2
             V I have read and accept the licence agreement...(click)
             Download Now... (104.2m)
       Next>
         Domain Location
           Domain: domain1
           Host: localhost, Vloopback
           DAS Port: 4848, HTTP Port: 8080, VDefault
           Target:
           User Name:
           Password:
      【Finish】
    

        Server Name: GlassFish Server 4
        Server Type: GlassFish Server 4.1.2
        Common:
          Installation Location: C:\Users\xx\GlassFish_server4\glassfish
          Domains Folder: C:\Users\xx\GlassFish_server4\glassfish\domains
          Host: localhost
          DAS Port: 484, HTTP Port:8080
          Domain: domain1
            Enable HTTP Monitor (維持不打勾)
          V Enable JDBC Driver Deployment
          V Preserve Sessions Across Redeployment
          V Start Registered Derby Server
      【Close】

5. 安裝  JDK 8 方法
    Tools/Java Platforms
      Add Platform...
        Select platform type
          Download OpenJDK (via Foojay.io Disco API)
        Connect to OpenJDK Discovery Service
          Quick:
            Version: 23,21,17,11,8
            Distribution: Microsoft or Zulu
