Hi Jack, OpenSolaris only supports whole-root zones. See the Zones in OpenSolaris <http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zones/faq/#os_diff> FAQ for the details on why.
Therefore, you need to install MySQL and GlassFish in the non-global zone. You have to manually configure the non-global zone's networking. This blog entry on zones <http://blogs.sun.com/observatory/entry/zones> may be helpful to you.
