Comment 1 Angel Vera CLA 2008-07-21 14:02:44 EDT 
The exception is coming from the Generic Server adapter. It seems that the class name for glassfish is missconfigured in the xml.

Passing to Gorken for proper analysis.
Comment 2 Tim deBoer CLA 2008-07-21 14:39:21 EDT 
The Glassfish server adapter is not provided by WTP. If this is a bug in the adapter we should close and ask the user to open a bug against the vendor that provided it.
Comment 3 Gorkem Ercan CLA 2008-11-08 15:45:34 EST 
I think this is actually a problem with the Glassfish adapter itself. It looks like it is missing a mandatory field. I have added a safe guard to the generic server framework for this just in case. The fix is released to 3.1 builds.
Comment 4 Gorkem Ercan CLA 2008-11-08 15:46:23 EST 
Fixed on 3.1
