在启用了安全管理员（HTTPS）的Glassfish 4.1容器上，Arquillian集成测试失败

Question

I'm working on a project that makes use of Arquillian and Maven to perform integration tests against a remote Glassfish 4.1 container and a remote Wildfly 8.2 container. When the tests are running against the remote Wildfly container everything works fine, however when running against the remote Glassfish container the tests fail with a series of errors.

The Maven output reports an internal server error and also shows that the test failed due to a NullPointerException but I believe this is actually a result of the Shrinkwrap deployment not being deployed to the Glassfish container rather than an error in the code itself.

The Glassfish server log shows no sign of anything being deployed to the container but there is a TimeoutException recorded in the log file when the integration test is run.

What I don't understand is what I'm doing wrong that prevents the test running against a remote Glassfish 4.1 container. Given that the same test passes without any problems on a remote Wildfly 8.2 container, I believe the problem lies with the Arquillian configuration in my project rather than the code being tested.

Update: After some further investigation this appears to be a very specific problem with Glassfish 4.1 where secure admin (HTTPS) has been enabled. If I run the test on a Glassfish 4.1 container with secure admin disabled then the test succeeds. If I run the test on a Glassfish 4.0 container with secure admin enabled then the test also succeeds. Unfortunately Glassfish requires secure admin to be enabled to deploy to a container running on another host, so the only workaround I can see at the moment is to downgrade to Glassfish 4.0.

The relevant section of the arquillian.xml file is as follows:

<container qualifier="arquillian-glassfish-remote">
  <configuration>
    <property name="adminUser">xxxx</property>
    <property name="adminPassword">xxxx</property>
    <property name="adminHttps">true</property>
    <property name="adminHost">xxxx</property>
    <property name="adminPort">4848</property>
    <property name="target">server</property>
  </configuration>
  <protocol type="Servlet 3.0">
    <property name="host">xxxx</property>

Answer 1

After a lot of investigation I've found that this problem is caused by a bug in Grizzly version 2.3.15 which is bundled with Glassfish 4.1.

The issue is documented in https://java.net/jira/browse/GLASSFISH-21180 and https://java.net/jira/browse/GRIZZLY-1713 .

I've tried copying a later version of the nucleus-grizzly-all.jar to the modules directory but Glassfish fails to start.

The best workaround around appears to be documented in TimeoutException on remote Glassfish v4.1 deployment which suggests downloading a patched version of nucleus-grizzly-all.jar from https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7319744/glassfish-4.1/nucleus-grizzly-all.jar .
