The same .war file is deployed successfully on another environment on GlassFish Enterprise Server v2.1.1.

Finally I found the root cause of the Issue I was facing and also how to fix it.
The issue was with xerces.jar that was included in my project. I used it to deal with XML & hence removing the jar was not an option for me.
I tried various versions of that jar but no luck.
At last I added xerces-2.9.1.jar in my project and the issue disappears.

Oracle Glassfish 3.1.2 and JMS deployment descriptor files exception

I created a J2EE web application (war + EJB module) and I tryed to setup JMS resources for Oracle Glassfish 3.1.2.2; the project links on github (web application and EJB module) are:
J2EE web application
EJB module
I want to setup the JMS resources (JMS factory and JMS destination) on Oracle Glassfish with Java/Glassfish deployment descriptor files.
The following exception is thrown by Oracle Glassfish during deployment:

The deployment descriptors WEB-INF/web.xml, WEB-INF/glassfish-resources.xml and META-INF/glassfish-ejb-jar.xml do not correctly setup JMS resources and "Unsupported deployment descriptors element message-destination value null" exception is thrown.
How can I solve this problem ?
Best wishes
Edit
Resolved with WEB-INF/glassfish-web.xml deploymenrt descriptor, see github updated applications.

I assume that you have created JMS resources on Glassfish, right?
Add ejb-jar.xml into EJB module (src/main/resources/META-INF) with the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ejb-jar xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

Can anyone please help me in fixing this?

GlassFish is open source. Just look at the code associated with 1st line:
at com.sun.enterprise.deployment.WebBundleDescriptor.getErrorPageDescriptorBySignifier(WebBundleDescriptor.java:780)
Source code is available at grepcode:
778 public ErrorPageDescriptor getErrorPageDescriptorBySignifier(String signifier) {
779 for (ErrorPageDescriptor next : getErrorPageDescriptorsSet()) {
780 if (next.getErrorSignifierAsString().equals(signifier)) {
781 return next;
782 }
783 }
784 return null;
785 }
Okay, this suggests that next.getErrorSignifierAsString() returned null for some reason. Let's look in that method (in grepcode you can click through the methods to see source, as if you did Ctrl+Click in an IDE):
84 public String getErrorSignifierAsString() {
85 if ("".equals(this.getExceptionType())) {
86 if (getErrorCode() == -1) {
87 return null;
88 } else {
89 return String.valueOf(this.getErrorCode());
90 }
91 }
92 return this.getExceptionType();
93 }
Okay, this suggests that some <error-page> declared in your web.xml doesn't have an <exception-type> nor a valid <error-code>.
It's time to check the web.xml (and web-fragment.xml, if any) for broken <error-page> declarations and fix up them.

"IOR must have at least one IIOP profile" error while deploying application to Glassfish

I'm developing an application which receives messages using message driven bean and persist data into the database. While trying to deploy it on glassfish, I receive following error:

I look around and realise that it may be a CORBA problem, but I'm not using CORBA, the message is sent via ActiveMQ and I use ojdbc for database.
Sorry for the long log and short description. If you need more information, please let me know. Anyway, all answers and suggestions are welcome. Thanks

I had the same problem, "IIOP Protocol Manager initialization failed. Possible cause is that ORB is not available in this container" when trying to deploy an app in glassfish 4.
In my case, the reason is that I changed the thread pool on one of my http-listeners . I wanted to use the "thread-pool" instead of the "http-thread-pool" (because It had more threads). As soon as I changed back, it started working again.

I have had this problem now. After sometime trying to understand the problem and several restarts of glassfish, I rebooted the server and the problem is now gone.

Glassfish Error when deploying WAR - Error occurred during deployment: Exception while preparing the app : Invalid resource :

I'm trying to deploy a WAR file called "VodfoneContractsDB.war". Its a simple web service created using Netbean's "RESTful Web Service from Database" wizard.
"Vodafone" is the name of my database connection.
I get the following error message:
Error occurred during deployment: Exception while preparing the app :
Invalid resource : Vodafone__pm. Please see server.log for more
details.
This is the log file:

Go to http:/localhost:4848
click on JDBC in the left navigation tree and expand it, choose JDBC Connection Pool
create your Connection Pool
create an JNDI name for your connection pool
retry to deploy your application.
Good luck
Patrick

The solution is making the resource an application-wide resource. Make sure you make the JNDI name prefixed with java:app/. And so, in your case, it'll be java:app/Vodafone. This should be done in both your persistence.xml file and in the WEB-INF/glassfish-resources.xml file also.
Find more details at here

Had the same issue. I put a jdbc/ in front of the jta-data-source value in the persistence.xml and it resolved the issue. Hopefully this helps someone.

Try this suggestion.

It works for me. You need to define your datasource in glassfish-resources.xml and put this file in your WEB-INF.
Remember to prepend your datasource with java:app/ so it reads java:app/Vodafone.
and use this value in your persistence.xml java:app/Vodafone

This is my fault cases met.
Here, I make the steps to create JNDI glassfish handmade crafts for MySQL connections.
You do the same with your database.
Based on glassfish-resources.xml file in NetBean do you configure JNDI property to suit accordingly
