org.glassfish.embeddable.GlassFishException: PlainTextActionReporterFAILURENo configuration found for server.network-config.network-listeners.network-listener.http-listener

Overview

When I upgrade the Glassfish Server to be a version 3.1.2 from  here, the Glassfish Embedded Server should be upgraded as well. Anyhow when I perform the unit test, it is failed as

org.glassfish.embeddable.GlassFishException: PlainTextActionReporterFAILURENo configuration found for server.network-config.network-listeners.network-listener.http-listener

Investigation

I’ve put the whole exception mentioned above to sear via Google and found the useful information at Glassfish Jira issue #18452 . They mention about the configuration at the domain.xml is not completed. I’ve been noticed that the Glassfish Embeded Server has some limitation about the HTTP listener port and need to be applied the additional configuration as it is mentioned here.

The Root Cause

The root cause is I’ve configured the HTTP port explicitly as

props.put("org.glassfish.ejb.embedded.glassfish.web.http.port", 14080);
ejbContainer = EJBContainer.createEJBContainer(props);

The Solution

It is a very easy step by removing the explicitly configured HTTP port. Anyhow, the domain.xml should be configured for all related ports properly. We can download the starter domain.xml from here and start configure all related ports and/or further jdbc/datasource resources as well.
