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 Serve

Answer 1

Although late reply, but may be useful to someone facing similar issues.

If no domain exists in your glassfish path i.e say C:\glassfish4\glassfish\domains\ then you can create a new domain in the same path as follows:

1. Navigate to C:\glassfish4\bin\ directory and double click on asadmin.bat. It will open a command prompt as asadmin >

2. Type the following command asadmin > create-domain --adminport 4848 domain1

3. Click Enter repeatedly to keep the default settings viz. username (admin) password and other things.

That's it. You will find the domain1 created under C:\glassfish4\glassfish\domains\ directory with all default configurations.

If want to create domain in another directory or want some more info then can refer Oracle Glassfish Reference Manual:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19798-01/821-1758/create-domain-1/index.html

Answer 2

create a new domain with

asadmin create-domain myDomain

add the path of this new domain, if there is a message "domain is not valid", make the folder domains/myDomain/conf permission to not only the root. If there is the message "is not writtable" then open Eclipse as root and try again. This should be work in these cases.

Answer 3

In my case, the C:\glassfish4\glassfish\domains\domain1\config\ domain.xml was renamed to something like domain568912323464576456.xml, so I edited the file, leaving it as it supposed to be named and done, server started up again.

Answer 4

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 5

I ran into this same problem and fixed it with the following:

1. Open a command prompt and browse to C:\glassfish3\glassfish\bin (or whatever your glassfish directory is)
2. Execute asadmin
3. Type in create-domain --adminport 4848 domain1 (your debug port can probably be whatever)
4. Go back into Eclipse and continue

Answer 6

You must to add a password to your admin user. Eclipse mistake. Eclipse doesn't recognise the domain without admin password.

When you create the domain, add a admin user and a password and Eclipse doesn't complain any more.
