The system administrators at my site recently hardened my development machine and I'm not sure if it is causing this problem or not since I can't remember the last time that I worked with GlassFish.
When I try to start the Admin Console, I get the startup page, but when it goes to show the main page, I get a screen with the following data:
http Status 500
message:
description: The server encountered any internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling the request
exception
java.servlet.ServletException
root cause
java.lang.IllegalStateException
I looked into the server.log file and saw that the FacesServlet threw the IllegalStateException (which was followed by a long stack trace).
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling GlassFish to see if that might fix it but it did not.
Could this have been caused by the hardening of my computer? I can file for any exemption if necessary.
Is there something I can do to make GlassFish work again?
