Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 Troubleshooting Guide

Experience Issues Related to the JDK

Description

You experience JDK-related issues in a variety of circumstances.

Solution

Enterprise Server v3 requires JDK 6, so check your system for that dependency.

The minimum (and certified) version of the JDK software that is required for Enterprise Server depends on the operating system:

Ensure that the required JDK software is installed and that the JAVA_HOME environment variable points to the JDK installation directory, not the Java Runtime Environment (JRETM) software.

Set JAVA_HOME and $JAVA_HOME/bin in the PATH to point to the supported JDK version.
