Hi Wouter,

If i understand it correctly from your previous email,   you  install build 28,  then copy over  build 26 of domain.xml  to this new installation.
So, your domain.xml suggested that you have installed admin console, but the installed bits can't be found, thats why the upgrade failed.
You should never just copy domain.xml from one build to another,  there will be other issues besides admin console.
However, i do think that we should allow upgrade even if old bits can't be found.   So, i filed https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6477 and is fixed in build 28a.    Thanks for your suggestion.

When build 28a is out,  you should see the update is available in both the admin console -> updatetool -> Available Updates tab  or the updatetool itself.   You can  install this update and when you restart the server,   the updated bits  will be detected.

I haven't responsed to your previous question about what are the packages related to admin console.  Here is the list:

glassfish-gui          GlassFish Administration Console
glassfish-jdbc-gui  GlassFish JDBC Administration Console plugin
glassfish-web-gui  GlassFish Web Container Administration Console plugin

thanks
Anissa

I mean you can start up updatetool by doing   glassfishv3_prelude/bin/
updatetool.
      
Yes that is how I install e.g. EJB3.1 support. Is it possible to install admin
console via updatetool as well? If so, which package should I install?
    

Using updatetool I uninstalled GlassFish Admin Console and then installed it
again. Still GlassFish complains that it cannot upgrade Admin Console when I try
to load it. So, in the end I removed Admin Console via upodatetool, restarted
GlassFish and then opened the Admin Console at port 4848. Now it's installed
again.


Thanks, Wouter
