Glassfish: EJB Container initialization error

Question

I wrote a small webservice and when i try to deploy it to glassfish i get this error: Error occurred during deployment: Exception while loading the app : EJB Container initialization error. Please see server.log for more details.

@WebService(serviceName = "Mathematics")
public class Mathematics
{
    @WebMethod(operationName = "add")
    public double add(@WebParam(name = "a") double a,
            @WebParam(name = "b") double b)
    {
        return NovusMath.add(a, b);
    }
}

Relevant portions of server.log:

Exception while loading the app : EJB Container initialization error
javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: WS00056 : Deployment cannot proceed as the ejb has a
null endpoint address uri.

Potential cause may be webservice endpoints not supported in embedded ejb case
at org.glassfish.webservices.WebServiceEjbEndpointRegistry.
registerEndpoint(WebServiceEjbEndpointRegistry.java:117)

If anyone could tell me what I am doing wrong I would greatly appreciate it.

Solution

Content of the server.log tells you nicely that problem occurs when trying to parse 17th (indexing starts from 0) character of

file:/C:/Program Files/glassfish-3.1.1/glassfish/...

This seems to be space. This refers to already fixed bug: GLASSFISH-17242 Your options are:

1. update Glassfish
2. avoid using space in path
