Glassfish admin console's java.lang.RuntimeException

Question

I have tried to create jdbc connection pool on my glassfish with the following properties(as seen on the image below). It connected succesfully makes me think it works right. However after I restarted the glassfish and tried to ping the pool, a RuntimeException appeared on my screen on a white screen. Not only when I ping it, but also when I click any tab and even the save and cancel button it end up to RuntimeException. I've tried every possible cause and search the net over and over but ended up this same exception. Please help. :(

RuntimeException steps to encounter

Answer 1

I faced this issue. I took two measures to fix it, not sure which one does the trick:

• Revert the JDBC driver to a version I was using in another glassfish installation;
• Clean the browser cache

After this I was able to edit the connection pool properties and ping the connection without the RuntimeException.

Hope it helps.
