Payara Glassfish Server Deployment: Error when listing directory

Question

I'm facing an issue in Glassfish server with my Java EE project. Whenever I start coding, I will start my local Glassfish server and deploy my Java EE project to the server. After the deployment is completed, I will start coding. Every time I added or modified the project source code, the project will redeploy. When the project is redeploying, the server log will show this error (Refer to the following screenshot).

  keepstate options resolved to true, saving appId 106861107804831744 for application javaProject.|#]

This error doesn't happen every time, sometimes the redeployment is perfectly work without this error. Also, although the error is exist, I still able to test my code (browser able to load the updated version).

I have checked the path (refer in the screenshot above) and make sure it's accessible from every windows users, but the issue still exists. I also did some research online about my problem, none of the solution is work for my situation. In this case, I decide to ignore the error, proceed to code. But when this error happens multiple times, a new error will be introduced (refer to the following screen).

javax.servlet.servletexception: GC overhead limit exceeded

I also do some research about the second error and I already increase my server JVM heap size to 3500. But both issues still remain unsolved (That's why I am here to seek for solution).

Anyone here have any solution for my issue? (Do let me know if u need any extra info to understand my problem).

My setup:

1. JDK & JRE: 1.8.0_201

2. Payara Glassfish Server 5.194

Answer 1

I think it is related with "Deploy on save" setting. Personally I use this setting only when I'm working with xhtml, sometimes with cdi beans, but switch it off when coding ejb
