payara 4.181 on windows: adminui fails

[Patrick von der Hagen]

Hi all,

I've been running payara 4.181 successfully on ubuntu, but need to run it on Windows for production. All updates are installed, java is jdk8u162, 64 bit.

Startup looks fine, until there is the first request to http://localhost:4848 There is a screen about "Admin console application is loaded", but the server.log shows an exception:

I'm hesitating to get a xerces-bundle and adding it to my classpath, but that's what I'd try next.

Any ideas?

Best regards

Running 4.1.2.174 on the same system works like a charm.

Problem solved.
