Can't launch glassfish server at boot

[Leslie.Hon]

Hi, I setup a Lion Server and install Glassfish 3.1.2 using Homebrew
Now I can start the service by manual

asadmin start-domain domain1

Now I want to start the glassfish at server boot (without login)
I tried to follow
HERE to setup a launchd

Here is my script (modified the path for homebrew)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>com.sun.glassfish</string>
<key>Disabled</key>
<false/>
<key>UserName</key>
<string>appserver</string>
<key>GroupName</key>
<string>appserverusr</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/usr/local/bin/asadmin</string>
<string>start-domain</string>
<string>domain1</string>
</array>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>

When I reboot the server, it can't start the service , the log is shown below:

Jun 20 17:06:54 server com.apple.launchd[1] (com.sun.glassfish[2439]): Suspicious setup: User "appserver" maps to user: _appserver

The first thing to check when diagnosing issues like this one is the working directory. Remember that when launchd starts something, its working directory will NOT be the same as the one used when you start things manually from the Terminal. This is especially troublesome if relative paths are used, as these break if the working directory isn't set to what is expected.
