eclipse error: glassfish\domains\domain1 does not exist

Question

I have java ee6 web profile sdk & I am using eclipse ee. I installed Glassfish plugin for eclipse using Download additional server adapters in the New Server wizard. Now during building a test app, eclipse raise this error glassfish\domains\domain1 does not exist. Whats the reason & how can I remove it?

Answer 1

Either your eclipse glassfish plugin points to the wrong domain or your server has no domain although there should be at least a default domain which is usually named domain1.

Check what's the name of your domain in glassfish-install-dir\glassfish\domains directory. If there is no subdir, you can create a domain with the asadmin tool:

glassfish-install-dir\bin\asadmin create-domain your-domain-name

See this description of the create-domain command.

If you already have a domain with a different name than domain1, you have to reconfigure your eclipse glassfish plugin. (Since I don't use eclipse, I can't take you any further. But I remember a BalusC tutorial on this topic).

Answer 2

Go to <Glassfish-install-directory>/glassfish/config directory.

Edit asenv and point to your JDK installation for set AS_JAVA=C:\Java\jdk.

Now you should be able to run asadmin.

Create a new domain using asadmin create-domain domain1 (inside bin directory).

Server setup in eclipse will now find your newly created domain.
