My Java JDK:

$ readlink -f $(which java)
/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-amd64/bin/java

I've tried adding AS_JAVA="/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-amd64" to the asenv.conf file but the error persists. Any help? Oh yeah, and it doesn't matter if im in /opt/glassfish5/glassfish/bin or /opt/glassfish5/bin the error is the same

Solution

  • GlassFish 5 doesn’t support JDK 17, but the latest versions of GlassFish 6 do. If possible, try to upgrade to GlassFish 6.2.4, which is the current version at the time of writing.
