Answer 1

In my case this error message was hiding an incompatibility between the versions of hibernate 5 and jboss-logging.

The problem was that the jboss-logging version provided by spring boot (3.3.0.Final) was being overridden by an older version already included in the glassfish libraries (3.1.3-GA), under the "modules" directory.

The solution was to add a "glassfish-web.xml" file under the "WEB-INF" folder of the webapp, with the following content (as suggested in https://stackoverflow.com/a/38439108).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE glassfish-web-app PUBLIC "-//GlassFish.org//DTD GlassFish Application Server 3.1 Servlet 3.0//EN" "http://glassfish.org/dtds/glassfish-web-app_3_0-1.dtd">
<glassfish-web-app>
     <class-loader delegate="false"/>
</glassfish-web-app>

This ensures the loading of the project libraries instead of the server ones. After that change, the spring boot project run on glassfish flawlessly.
