I have java ee6 web profile sdk & I am using eclipse ee. I installed Glassfish plugin for eclipse using Download additional server adapters in the New Server wizard. Now during building a test app, eclipse raise this error glassfish\domains\domain1 does not exist. Whats the reason & how can I remove it?

Do you have a domain1 directory in your glassfish/domains folder? – Matt Handy Apr 12 '11 at 12:55

Either your eclipse glassfish plugin points to the wrong domain or your server has no domain although there should be at least a default domain which is usually named domain1.
Check what's the name of your domain in glassfish-install-dir\glassfish\domains directory. If there is no subdir, you can create a domain with the asadmin tool:
glassfish-install-dir\bin\asadmin create-domain your-domain-name
See this description of the create-domain command.
If you already have a domain with a different name than domain1, you have to reconfigure your eclipse glassfish plugin. (Since I don't use eclipse, I can't take you any further. But I remember a BalusC tutorial on this topic).

I do not create any domain. Just installed Java EE 6 web profile. Then installed glassfish plugin & now encounter this problem. I tried to run the command glassfish\bin\asadmin create-domain doamin1, but cmd gives error,'system cannot find path specified.' – enterprize Apr 12 '11 at 13:54

@user701854 : updated my answer and clarified directories. Note that there is a glassfish dir inside your glassfish-install-dir. And there should be your domains. – Matt Handy Apr 12 '11 at 13:59

yes & I used path pf same. It precisely is 'D:\Java6EE\glassfish\bin\asadmin'. I used this path but strangely cmd gives path error. I followed all steps given in BalusC tutorial except just not creating any admin acc when installing Java EE web profile & leaving both fields admin/pass blank. – enterprize Apr 12 '11 at 14:13

Go to <Glassfish-install-directory>/glassfish/config
directory.
Edit asenv
and point to your JDK installation for set AS_JAVA=C:\Java\jdk
.
Now you should be able to run asadmin
.
Create a new domain using asadmin create-domain domain1
(inside bin directory).
Server setup in eclipse will now find your newly created domain.

I ran into this same problem and fixed it with the following:
- Open a command prompt and browse to
C:\glassfish3\glassfish\bin
(or whatever your glassfish directory is) - Execute
asadmin
- Type in create-domain
--adminport 4848 domain1
(your debug port can probably be whatever) - Go back into Eclipse and continue

Although late reply, but may be useful to someone facing similar issues.
If no domain exists in your glassfish path i.e say C:\glassfish4\glassfish\domains\
then you can create a new domain in the same path as follows:
Navigate to
C:\glassfish4\bin\
directory and double click onasadmin.bat
. It will open a command prompt asasadmin >
Type the following command
asadmin > create-domain --adminport 4848 domain1
Click Enter repeatedly to keep the default settings viz. username (admin) password and other things.
That's it. You will find the domain1
created under C:\glassfish4\glassfish\domains\
directory with all default configurations.
If want to create domain in another directory or want some more info then can refer Oracle Glassfish Reference Manual:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19798-01/821-1758/create-domain-1/index.html
Eclipse doesn't have domain path setting for glassfish server. This error comes when domain path is not correct. Make sure when you run your application on eclipse give glassfish credentials user/password

In my case, the C:\glassfish4\glassfish\domains\domain1\config\ domain.xml was renamed to something like domain568912323464576456.xml, so I edited the file, leaving it as it supposed to be named and done, server started up again.

create a new domain with
asadmin create-domain myDomain
add the path of this new domain, if there is a message "domain is not valid", make the folder domains/myDomain/conf permission to not only the root. If there is the message "is not writtable" then open Eclipse as root and try again. This should be work in these cases.
