Well .. though I use Eclipse + tomcat and not NetBeans + glassfish, the problem of figuring out where the webapp and its parts are going to live is confusing as well, because the IDE creates its own tomcat directories for debugging, etc, and tomcat itself is not transparent to me.
What I do is to pass a global property to the webapp telling it where the H2 databases are, and manage it outside the webapp directories.
