The asadmin not being found is expected, as the software has not yet
been installed on the remote host. Before copying the file over, there
is a check to see if the software is already there.
The NPE is coming from a 15 line section of the code that scans through
a list of files, removing those that should not be copied.
If the command got through that section, you would see a message saying
"Final number of files to be copied..."
Based on a review of the code, I see a bug that could be what you are
seeing. If you have a plain file (not a directory) in the install root
for the server, then you would get the behavior you are seeing. For
example, I did the following to produce the behavior you are seeing.
mkdir $HOME/test
cd $HOME/test
unzip -q $HOME/glassfish.zip
touch glassfish3/x
glassfish3/bin/asadmin install-node ...
Removing the file "x" from the glassfish3 directory allows the command
to proceed. If there is any plain file in the glassfish3 directory (or
in your case, the /usr/share/glassfish-3.1.2 directory), then the
command gets the NPE.
I filed the following issue for this problem:
