org.glassfish.grizzly.http.ajp.AjpHandlerFilter.encodeHttpPacket(AjpHandlerFilter.java:282) when using Apache as load balancer for GF 5

I've configured a Glassfish 5.0 instance with an AJP connector that would work as load balancer even though at the moment I have only one glassfish.
In domain.xml I have the followin:
<http-service>
<access-log></access-log>
<virtual-server network-listeners="http-listener-1,http-listener-2,jk-connector" id="server"></virtual-server>
<virtual-server network-listeners="admin-listener" id="__asadmin"></virtual-server>
</http-service>
where jk-connector is the one I use from the load balancer.
<network-config>
...
<protocols>
<protocol name="jk-connector">
<http default-virtual-server="server">
<file-cache></file-cache>
</http>
</protocol>
</protocols>
</network-config>
then there is the listener
<network-listeners>
<network-listener protocol="jk-connector" jk-enabled="true" port="8009" name="jk-connector" thread-pool="http-thread-pool" transport="tcp"></network-listener>
</network-listeners>
My Apache http.conf is as follows:
LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so
LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so
# Where to find workers.properties
JkWorkersFile conf/workers.properties
JkOptions +ForwardKeySize +ForwardURICompat -ForwardDirectories
JkRequestLogFormat "%w %V %T"
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteMap uc int:toupper
#rewrite per compatibilita' con vecchie URL dei servizi
RewriteRule ^/services/(.)(.*)$ /api/${uc:$1}$2Services?%{QUERY_STRING} [PT]
#RewriteRule ^/services/(.)(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/api/${uc:$1}$2Services?%{QUERY_STRING} [R=301,L]
#solo nel caso di un GET
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} GET
ReWriteRule ^(.*)/login.jsf;jsessionid=[A-Za-z0-9\.]+(.*)$ $1/login.jsf$2 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
The exception is:

Using JDK 1.8.0_131, Glassfish 5.0, Apache 2.4.2

Seems like you are facing this Glassfish bug (and this one).
You can try the latest Glassfish 5 build which is available here: http://download.oracle.com/glassfish/5.0.1/nightly
Unfortunately it looks like there is currently no solution besides manually fixing the grizzly JAR file.
You can try the following:
Download the grizzly 2.4 sources (https://github.com/javaee/grizzly/archive/2.4.x.zip) and extract them
Open the project grizzly-http-ajp and build it, if the build fails due to missing dependencies, change the project version to 2.4.3 in pom.xml
If it compiles without problems, open the class AjpHandlerFilter
Do the following change near line 276 so the code looks like this:
if (contentBuffer.hasRemaining()) {
return AjpMessageUtils.appendContentAndTrim(memoryManager,
encodedBuffer, contentBuffer);
} else if (encodedBuffer == null) {
encodedBuffer = Buffers.EMPTY_BUFFER;
}
Save and compile the project
Go to /grizzly-2.4.x/modules/http-ajp/target/classes/org/glassfish/grizzly/http/ajp/ and copy the the generated .class file for AjpHandlerFilter
Update the AjpHandlerFilter.class in the glassfish-grizzly-extras-all.jar (inside glassfish/glassfish/modules) of your Glassfish installation. You can do this with jar uf ${jar-file} ${class-file}. You need to make sure that the path is correct and you that you replace the old .class file in the JAR
Alternativly you can try to find the sources of the project glassfish-grizzly-extras-all, fix the problem there and build a new glassfish-grizzly-extras-all.jar.

In my computer, it works without any problem, with a stable memory usage around 450,000Kb - the jvm allowed memory in the server is 512Mb, is there a problem in the server or could be something in my code? as I can only see references to glassfish and sun libraries.

When you receive an OutOfMemoryError, the stacktrace is not relevant at all. The code in the stacktrace just requires allocation of additional memory, but the memory can be consumed by objects created somewhere else.
Investigate which objects consume the memory, for example using a profiler, VisualGC or analyze the heap dump. In particular, seek for classes defined in your application, which have an unusually high number of instances in memory.
Also, think what might be different between the 2 environments. Is it possible that the application reads data from DB during deployment, and the data in DBs differ?
The usage of 450MB on your local computer is quite close to the limit of 512MB - it is possible that the server consumes more memory than your local server, because of the different server configuration. Compare how much memory is consumed by the server and your local server before you try deploying the application.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot create a secure XMLInputFactory when deploying on Glassfish

From what I've read, it seems Woodstox api (woodstox-core-asl.jar) dependency from CXF is conflicting with glassfish's own version of the library. CXF uses Woodstox 4.4.1 while my glassfish 4 instance, I've checked, uses 4.1.2.
So my first attempt was to try and exclude CXF's dependency and declare my own Woodstox 4.1.2 dependency on my POM in order for everyone to use the same version. But this didn't solve the problem.
I also tried straight up removing this dependency from my POM and checked it's not included in the WAR before deploying, also to no avail (same exception).
I've only managed to deploy on glassfish by removing the .jar from the modules dir of the server, but this is somehting I cannot do on my production servers, by requirement.
Is there anything else I can try?

It was so easy and I am ashamed I've spent 5 hours trying to solve with maven while it was on the official documentation page (http://cxf.apache.org/docs/application-server-specific-configuration-guide.html):
CXF Interceptors will not work in Glassfish without this sun-web.xml
file to configure the classloader. By default, Glassfish will use
Metro for JAX-WS services so the classloader needs to be configured to
allow CXF libraries to provide JAX-WS services. The following
sun-web.xml xml source was added to /WEB-INF to resolve this issue:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE sun-web-app PUBLIC
'-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Application Server 9.0 Servlet
2.5//EN' 'http://www.sun.com/software/appserver/dtds/sun-web-app_2_5-0.dtd>
<sun-web-app> <class-loader delegate="false"/> </sun-web-app>

i was facing the same issue but deploying it to web sphere, and after a research of few hours figured out the exact version for woodstox, i.e. below
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.woodstox</groupId>
<artifactId>woodstox-core-asl</artifactId>
<version>4.2.0</version>
</dependency>
This https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=409070 link also helped to figured it out.

Please prefer to implement kelmers answer to not open security holes!
Depending on the security requirements of your application you could use the org.apache.cxf.stax.allowInsecureParser option.
From the documentation
There is a "org.apache.cxf.stax.allowInsecureParser" System Property
that can be set to true to allow using an insecure parser, but that is
HIGHLY not recommended
But I think you are better of consulting the glassfish documentation on how to override/exclude system libs for specific deployments.

Glassfish 4.0 SSL cert from Thawte

I have some problems with my GF4 and SSL.
I have installed GF4 and made every change listed at this tutorial
Everything went fine but now that I want to use the GF Server online and on an pruductiv enviroment, I want to change the SSL Cert to a bought one. I already bought a SSL123 Thawte SSL Cert which is just Domain signed (should be enough for starters). Now I have the .key the .csr and .crt file.
I already looked up, how to import a given Key and CRT File into an existing Keystore. (using openssl and producing and p12 file)
Now if I just stop the GF domain and erase the two alias "s1as" and "glassfish-instance" and import the new SSL Cert under this alias, I cannot start the domain again. I get the following two errors in the server.log:

I already have tried other configurations, changed the Cert Password, changed the master-Password but I cannot get this to work...
I hope someone can give me the right way to look at.
Thanks
Edit 1:
I used the SSL Cert on my Apache2.2. Everything works nice there.

This is most likely a password issue. In a staging environment you can try to set all passwords (including master password for the server) to be the same. Note that this is a bad idea in a production environment! You can also try vm options to specify different passwords to be used for the key.

What do I do to fix these errors? In my Services tab I can access my databases, and my dabatase connection to my Sullimar database works fine (I can view the data...) so I can't underastand the problem.
Thanks a million!

the error is easy, you need delete in WEB-INF/web.xml

Take a look at your server.log file.
It's located under /$YouGlassfishRoot/glassfish/domains/$Domain/logs/server.log
The problem is probably your server's jdk version.

Got the S.O.B to work. Turns out Windows firewall was blocking Netbeans (as it should), which for whatever reason requires incoming connections for deployment.
Try create a rule allowing inbound TCP for C:\program files\netbeans 8.0\bin\netbeans64.exe

I had similar problem on Windows 7, for you it's to late, but it could help somebody else. First there was no server.log file in GLASSFISH_INSTALATION_DIRECTORY\glassfish\domains\domain1\logs and the reason was that my user didn't have rights to write anywhere in GLASSFISH_INSTALATION_DIRECTORY (glassfish was installed with netbeans )
after fixing that I found "...Invalid resource : jdbc/..." exception and fix for that can be found at this webpage https://netbeans.org/kb/docs/web/jsf20-crud.html under Troubleshooting paragraph
