Automatic deployment waits for pollingInterval time before it scans the autodeploy directory for the first time

[OndroMih]

Environment Details

• GlassFish Version (and build number): 7.0.16 (and older)

---

Problem Description

When an application is dropped into the autodeploy directory while GlassFish is not started, GlassFish waits for the polling interval time before it deploys the application.

Impact of Issue

This prolongs the time from GlassFish launch to application deployment on startup. it takes longer until the application is deployed at startup and serves requests. This also prolongs the startup time of an application in Docker. By default, the pollingInterval is 2 seconds, so app startup takes 2 seconds longer than needed. Polling interval could be reduced to 1 second
