How to activate Payara class loading parameter fish.payara.classloading.delegate?

I have Guava class loading issues and can resolve all issues by adding a glassfish-web.xml as stated in the official documentation.

However I don't want to add a not backward compatible glassfish-web.xml (deployment on Glassfish 3.1.2.2 is not working) and activate this class loading within Payara 162 itself as stated in the official documentation and the blog article to release 162.

I didn't find an exact specification on how to set this system property and as no way is working currently I simply tried all individually.

  1. jvm-option
    • asadmin create-jvm-options --target server-config -Dfish.payara.classloading.delegate=false
  2. system property
    • asadmin create-system-properties --target domain fish.payara.classloading.delegate=false
    • asadmin create-system-properties --target server fish.payara.classloading.delegate=false
    • asadmin create-system-properties --target server-config fish.payara.classloading.delegate=false
    • all three system property targets together

None of this ways worked.

Solution

  • It's a feature, not a bug :(

    As mentioned by the developer it is intended for WARs to not obey the global system setting. The only way to achieve this for WARs is to add the configuration in the glassfish-web.xml.
