glassfish pwc6345 error

 

Glassfish/Java path problem solved

It turns out that when I first installed Glassfish on my Windows system I had JDK 6 installed, and recently I had to downgrade to JDK 5 to compile some code for another project. (This was for a Swing application, where the users only had Java 5 installed.)

Apparently when Glassfish is installed it hard-codes its reference to your JDK location, so to fix this problem I ended up having to edit a file named asenv.bat. In short, I edited this file:

C:/glassfish/config/asenv.bat:

and I commented out the reference to JDK 6 and added a new reference to JDK 5, like this:

REM set AS_JAVA=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_04/jre/..set AS_JAVA=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.5.0_16

This solved the problem, and Glassfish started right up after this change.

ps: I only add "set AS_JAVA=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.5.0_16" in the file, and it is OK!
