Glassfish5 Error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

I have installed glassfish 5 in ubuntu and put it under the directory /opt, but when I typed asadmin start-domain I face this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "org.glassfish.hk2.api.DynamicConfigurationService.createDynamicConfiguration()" because "dcs" is null

How can I solve this problem?

Downgrading form JDK 17 to JDK 8 worked. JDK 11 also didn't work.

Glassfish version 5 shows that behaviour when run with openjdk15 (at least in my machine) I have configured (see below) it to run with JDK-8 and it starts correctly.

set JAVA_HOME="Your_path_to_jdk8"
set PATH="%JAVA_HOME%/bin;%PATH%"

in windows, or

export JAVA_HOME="Your_path_to_jdk8"
export PATH="${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${PATH}"

in unix/linux. Add this to the script you use to start it, so the environment directs Glassfish to the proper place to find java binaries.

You have to put

set AS_JAVA=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_16

on this directory of you glassfish server:

C:\Users\Usuario\Documents\glassfish-5.0.1\glassfish5\glassfish\config\asenv

I had the same problem with glassfish 6. Make sure you have JDK installed.

Also the glassfish documentation says you have to set JAVA_HOME environment variable an then the PATH variable to point to JAVA_HOME/bin.

On Linux I edited my ~/.bash_profile:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib64/jvm/java-8-openjdk
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
