What is Heroku Procfile for Maven web application on Glassfish?

Question

I wrote a simple Maven web application on Netbeans. My project works well on localhost on Glassfish server. I tried to upload my project to Heroku but I can not achieve. What is appropriate Procfile for me?

If you want your application running on a Glassfish (on Heroku), you have to use an embedded Glassfish. You know that?

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.glassfish.extras</groupId>
   <artifactId>glassfish-embedded-all</artifactId>
   <version>3.1.1</version>
</dependency>

As procfile you could then use for example:

web:    java $JAVA_OPTS -cp target/classes:target/dependency/* com.example.Main

In your main you start your glassfish like this:

String port = System.getenv("PORT");
GlassFishProperties gfProps = new GlassFishProperties();
gfProps.setPort("http-listener", Integer.parseInt(port));
GlassFish glassfish = GlassFishRuntime.bootstrap().newGlassFish(gfProps);
glassfish.start();          
Deployer deployer = glassfish.getDeployer();            
File file = new File("YourSimpleMavenWebapplication.war");      
deployer.deploy(file);
