Answer 2

I'm working on a Mac, OSX 10.9. I recently had to update my JDK to 1.7 for some VPN software. The application I'm working runs on JDK 1.6, so a GlassFish had to run with JDK 1.6. It took a minute to iron this out, but here's how it went for me. I work with the NetBeans IDE by the way.

1. My GlssFish configuration file

   /Applications/NetBeans/glassfish-3.1.2.2/glassfish/config/asenv.conf

2. Path to JDK 1.6

   /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home

3. I added the following line to the bottom of my asenv.conf file

   AS_JAVA=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home
