Upgrading the publishing server from 4.4 to 4.5

The following procedure aims at upgrading the pubserver from version 4.4 to 4.5. Make sure you are running version 4.4 before continuing.

To upgrade:

  1. Stop the pubserver.
  2. Rename PUBSERVER\java\jdk folder containing JDK 11 to PUBSERVER\java\jdk_11_bkp.
  3. Copy PUBSERVER\java\jdk17 folder containing JDK 17 to PUBSERVER\java\jdk. We recommend setting Java 17 as the default Java in your environment from now on. This might mean updating your Path and/or JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to PUBSERVER\java\jdk\bin. All in all, you want to run the updater using Java 17 from now on.
  4. Edit PUBSERVER\glassfish\payara5\glassfish\domains\pubserver\config\domain.xml and just before the line
    <jvm-options>-Xmx8192m</jvm-options>

insert the following options:

    <jvm-options>[17|]--add-exports=java.base/sun.net.www=ALL-UNNAMED</jvm-options>
    <jvm-options>[17|]--add-exports=java.base/sun.security.util=ALL-UNNAMED</jvm-options>
    <jvm-options>[17|]--add-opens=java.base/java.lang.invoke=ALL-UNNAMED</jvm-options>
    <jvm-options>[17|]--add-opens=java.desktop/java.beans=ALL-UNNAMED</jvm-options>
    <jvm-options>[17|]--add-exports=jdk.naming.dns/com.sun.jndi.dns=ALL-UNNAMED</jvm-options>
    <jvm-options>[17|]--add-opens=java.base/java.lang.ref=ALL-UNNAMED</jvm-options>
  1. Remove the contents of PUBSERVER\glassfish\payara5\glassfish\domains\pubserver\generated and PUBSERVER\glassfish\payara5\glassfish\domains\pubserver\osgi-cache
  2. Start the pubserver.
  3. Run the updater updating to 4.5. Both the installer and the pubserver should now run using JDK 17.
  4. If all works fine, remove PUBSERVER\java\jdk_11_bkp.
