Re: Glassfish 3.0.1 on the AS/400.

[Pete Helgren <pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

 So here is what I have been able to ascertain about Glassfish 3.0.1 on i:

I was able to get it *running* by using the following techniques:

Originally I had to run it using puTTY or qp2term because the output in 
QSH was unintelligible.  But with the following changes (and I don't 
know which ones) I see everything fine in QSH.
1.    I added the JAVA_HOME=/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/JavaVM/jdk60/32bit 
to the beginning of the  asadmin shell script in 
/glassfishv3/glassfish/bin (using EDTF).
2.    I added the AS_JAVA=/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/JavaVM/jdk60/32bit to 
the beginning of the  asenv.conf filet in /glassfishv3/glassfish/config 
(using EDTF)
3.    I removed the -client entry in domain.xml in the java config 
section.  I also upped the value of MaxPermSize to 384m.

The server starts and is running since I can get the "success" page when 
I access port 8080 of the server.  What I cannot do is get the admin 
application to run.  When I access the admin port (4848)  I see the 
following:

HTTP Status 500 -

type Exception report

message

descriptionThe server encountered an internal error () that prevented it 
from fulfilling this request.

exception

javax.servlet.ServletException: 
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException while attempting to process 
a 'initPage' event for '/common/index.jsf'.

root cause

java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException 
while attempting to process a 'initPage' event for '/common/index.jsf'.

root cause

java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

root cause

javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactoryConfigurationError: Provider 
com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl not 
found


This looks similar to this post:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/AS_-_400/Q_25353948.html

In the case of the OP he was able to get it working using the Classic 
Java 6 JDK by removing all of the XX entries in the Java Config 
section.  That solution did NOT work for me, although I am running the 
32 bit version in this case.

The console page shows that it is installing and loading and then it 
indicates that it is trying to display the login page and then it croaks 
with the HTTP 500 status page.  I have been able to deploy a sample 
application so it *seems* like everything is working, with the exception 
of the web admin console.

Just an FYI on the progress, or lack thereof.
