Hi, Sorry if I give misleading information, I am not so much in with programming.
That Geoserver 2.23 runs on Java 11/17 even it is using J2EE is possible because Geoserver delivers the javax libraries in geoserver/WEB-INF/lib. The server that is running Geoserver 2.23 must be able to run with Java 11 or 17, and still use J2EE. Therefore Tomcat 9 can be used but Tomcat 10 not. Some people have been able to do that with some fiddling by using a migration tool https://github.com/apache/tomcat-jakartaee-migration, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75475861/will-geoserver-run-over-tomcat-10-x. By the Glassfish matrix that you presented it seems to be impossible to run Geoserver 2.23 with Glassfish at the moment. Glassfish 5 requires JDK8 so Geoserver 2.23 does not run. And Glassfish 6 requires Jakarta and Geoserver does not support that, so no go again. The situation is the same than with Tomcat 10. I do not know if the above mentioned migration tool could help with Glassfish 6 as it helped with Tomcat 10. In any case such solution is untested by the Geoserver team. The alien and baffling situation will change in the future, if not before then at latest when Tomcat 9 is reaching the end-of-life, which may take a few years from now. Of course sooner would be better. Using commercial support channels https://geoserver.org/support/ is an effective way for getting more speed if that happens to be an alternative. -Jukka Rahkonen- Lähettäjä: Mark Hammond <mark.hamm...@bto.org> Lähetetty: keskiviikko 19. huhtikuuta 2023 11.15 Vastaanottaja: geoserver-users@lists.sourceforge.net Aihe: Re: [Geoserver-users] Geoserver 2.23 requirements All versions of Glassfish ship with the version of J2EE appropriate to the level of JDK it was designed to run on. So glassfish 4 required J2EE7/JDK7 but runs on J2EE8/JDK8 Glassfish 5 requires J2EE8/JDK8 Glassfish 6 requires Jakarta 9.1/JDK11 The notion that you would have a JDK11 or later application paired with a much earlier J2EE version is alien and baffling to me.

If it only supports Jakarta we are not migrated to that yet. We tried with tomcat 10 (where it changes javax to Jakarta packages in the fly) but it did not work out so well.

To be honest, I don't know of anyone running on glassfish so I can really comment. May be that page needs updating Ian On Tue, 18 Apr 2023 at 10:21, Mark Hammond <mark.hamm...@bto.org<mailto:mark.hamm...@bto.org>> wrote: Colour me even more confused - this is the release notes for 2.23.0 on geoserver.org<http://geoserver.org/> [cid:image001.png@01D972B6.123ECC20] Or, if you can't view images: https://geoserver.org/announcements/2023/04/05/geoserver-2-23-0-released.html "Java 11 Minimum With this release GeoServer no longer supports Java 8, and it is time to upgrade to Java 11 at a minimum. Our build system tests GeoServer in with Java 11 and Java 17 which are both long-term-support OpenJDK releases." My existing servers are 2.15 running on JDK8 and Glassfish 4.x. Quite happy to upgrade to 2.23 running on JDK11 and Glassfish 6.x, or even JDK17 and Glassfish 7.x Can someone advise? Because what I'm being told from the documentation, and what I'm experiencing on the ground don't seem to marry up...

We have not migrated from J2EE to jakarta yet; although that is a good task to do. If you are interested in working on that mark it would be a welcome improvement. -- Jody Garnett On Mon, Apr 17, 2023 at 11:45 AM Ian Turton <ijtur...@gmail.com<mailto:ijtur...@gmail.com>> wrote: According to our manual glassfish doesn't support java 11 while GeoServer doesn't support java 8 any longer. So you may need to work with a n older version, which do have the fixes applied.

I would have been most content to enact the workarounds wildly offered, but people above me in the pecking order insisted. I've set up a vanilla test box with JDK11 and Glassfish 6.2.5 and downloaded the ready-to-eat .WAR file for Geoserver 2.23 However, upon attempting to deploy, this is the message got: remote failure: Error occurred during deployment: Exception while loading the app : java.lang.IllegalStateException: ContainerBase.addChild: start: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/ServletContextListener.
