Though it's possible to get some limited support for Glassfish in Community Edition it would require manual configuration (and many features won't be available anyway). Firstly you can configure the Glassfish startup script as an external tool (Settings | External Tools), or you can use Maven goal to start the server if your project is Maven-based. Also you need to configure a script to deploy your application to the server. After that you can create a 'Remote' run configuration to debug the application.
Hello,
IntelliJ IDEA provides support for Glassfish in Ultimate Edition only (see http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/editions_comparison_matrix.html).
