Problem Description

I have added mp-config 3.1 in my project but deployment keeps failing with below error:

remote failure: Error occurred during deployment: Exception while deploying the app [isi] : A MultiException has 3 exceptions.  They are:
1. com.sun.enterprise.module.ResolveError: Failed to start OSGiModuleImpl:: Bundle = [org.glassfish.main.microprofile.config [12]], State = [NEW]Unable to resolve
    org.glassfish.main.microprofile.config [12]
    missing requirement

jar = file:/home/backend-dev/servers/glassfish-8.0.0/glassfish8/glassfish/modules/microprofile-config.jar
artifactId = microprofile-config
groupId = org.glassfish.main.microprofile

3. java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to resolve

From the guides I see the below section which I believe means config is supported out of the box?

Steps to reproduce

• Create jakarta ee 11 project(exact version 11.0.0-M1)
• Add micro profile config dependency:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.eclipse.microprofile.config</groupId>
            <artifactId>microprofile-config-api</artifactId>
            <version>3.1</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>

• inject a config property from microprofile-config.properties. (My case I was doing REST so I injected in my resource class)
• Deploy

Please try GlassFish 8.0.0

[muchiri08]

@OndroMih This version works. Thanks.

Only issue is I'm adding it a as a server to netbeans 29 and starting it fails with below.

WARNING: Unknown module: org.glassfish.main.jdke specified to --add-opens
Error: Could not find or load main class com.sun.enterprise.glassfish.bootstrap.ASMain
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.enterprise.glassfish.bootstrap.ASMain

[OndroMih]

Yes, we know about that, @muchiri08 . We at OmniFish have developed a plugin for Netbeans that fixes that: https://omnifish.ee/developers/glassfish-server/ide-plugins-for-glassfish/netbeans/

We'll contribute a proper fix to the main Netbeans project so that it all works properly in future Netbeans versions with an additional plugin.

May I ask what's your usecase with GlassFish? Are you just trying it out? Or migrating from an older GlassFish version?

[muchiri08]

I am using it for my personal apps and small client web apps too. I was using payara but decided to move to glassfish.

[OndroMih]

Thanks for sharing your background. What were the biggest reasons to move from Payara to GlassFish? Are you happy with the change?

[muchiri08]

Honestly, no single big reason. I tried GlassFish 8 recently and it felt noticeably faster on startup and lighter overall. Since I didn't use Payara's extra features, I figured why not switch. I haven't run formal benchmarks but a few online reads backed up my experience, and I'm happy with it.
