glassfish server admin console stalls saying: The admin console application is loaded

I am having some trouble getting into my glassfish server admin console (although I think it may actually be a symptom of a larger problem)

What I am seeing is that when I go to: http://localhost:4848/ I get a page that says: Welcome to glassfish server open source edition 3.1 (build 43) and then a status section below that. The status makes it to "The admin console application is loaded" but seems to stall there. If I refresh the page, it is just a blank page. I have to reboot the glassfish server from eclipse in order to get back to that "welcome to glassfish" page.

I looked in my server logs and found a ton of "SEVERE" problems, all of which seem to relate to this one:

Has anyone 开发者_如何学运维have any thoughts on what might be going on here? I'm very new to glassfish and rather confused! Thanks in advance.

I think I had similar problem when running on Open JDK, check which JDK are you using, if its' openjdk then dowload and set as your default sun-jdk
