[FIXED] Netbeans 11.2: No suitable Deployment Server is defined for the project or globally

Issue

I installed Netbeans 11.2 IDE on my Mac. Under Services -> Servers I added GlassFish Server as a server.

Then I opened a maven project. I could "clean and build" it. Then I wanted to run it but this resulted in the following error message:

No suitable Deployment Server is defined for the project or globally.

I guess this has something to do with the following: there is a window in Netbeans called "Output - Java DB Database Process" and when I started the GlassFish Server the window showed me this message:

Sat Feb 08 18:02:45 CET 2020 : Security manager installed using the Basic server security policy.
Sat Feb 08 18:02:46 CET 2020 : Could not listen on port 1527 on host localhost: java.net.BindException: Address already in use (Bind failed)

I used the following command to check which process was using port 1527:

sudo lsof -n -i :1527 | grep LISTEN

This resulted in the following output (note: I removed the real username and the real IP address)

java    6722 <user>   36u  IPv6 <IP Address>      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:tlisrv (LISTEN)

Since this is a java process I don't want to just kill it.

What should I do?

P.S.:

The version of the GlassFish Server is 5.1.0, see Screenshot:

P.P.S.: this question didn't help me: NetBeans: No suitable Deployment Server is defined for the project or globally

P.P.P.S.: the server log says - among other things - the following:

Context path from ServletContext:  differs from path from bundle: /|#]

Here's a screenshot of the log:

P.P.P.P.S:

the content of the file nb-configuration.xml is the following:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project-shared-configuration>
    <properties xmlns="http://www.netbeans.org/ns/maven-properties-data/1">
        <org-netbeans-modules-maven-j2ee.netbeans_2e_hint_2e_j2eeVersion>1.7-web</org-netbeans-modules-maven-j2ee.netbeans_2e_hint_2e_j2eeVersion>
        <org-netbeans-modules-maven-j2ee.netbeans_2e_hint_2e_deploy_2e_server>gfv3ee6</org-netbeans-modules-maven-j2ee.netbeans_2e_hint_2e_deploy_2e_server>
    </properties>
</project-shared-configuration>

Solution

For glassfish 5.1 you should change this parameters in nb-configuration.xml

• netbeans_2e_hint_2e_j2eeVersion
• netbeans_2e_hint_2e_deploy_2e_server

Try fist changing gfv3ee6 to gfv5ee8 and then change 1.7-web to 1.8-web

For me worked this config:

<properties xmlns="http://www.netbeans.org/ns/maven-properties-data/1">
    <org-netbeans-modules-maven-j2ee.netbeans_2e_hint_2e_j2eeVersion>1.8-web</org-netbeans-modules-maven-j2ee.netbeans_2e_hint_2e_j2eeVersion>
    <org-netbeans-modules-maven-jaxws.rest_2e_config_2e_type>ide</org-netbeans-modules-maven-jaxws.rest_2e_config_2e_type>
    <org-netbeans-modules-maven-j2ee.netbeans_2e_hint_2e_deploy_2e_server>gfv5ee8</org-netbeans-modules-maven-j2ee.netbeans_2e_hint_2e_deploy_2e_server>
</properties>

It should resolve this error:

No suitable Deployment Server is defined for the project or globally.

As for

Context path from ServletContext:  differs from path from bundle: /|#

error try to close (or kill, including NetBeans itself) all java processes and start NetBeans again and run the project. It looks like your project was deployed to a different instance of glassfish (the previous version?).

I suppose you shouldn't worry about these messages:

Sat Feb 08 18:02:45 CET 2020 : Security manager installed using the Basic server security policy.
Sat Feb 08 18:02:46 CET 2020 : Could not listen on port 1527 on host localhost: java.net.BindException: Address already in use (Bind failed)

unless it indeed because of the previous instances of glassfish. In such a case just stop the previous instance or kill it.
