Glassfish 5.1.0 error when adding resources from web console

Question

Glassfish server up and running. I want to add some data source, and do it from web console->Resources.

Click button "Add Resources" then choose file from my computer (same to the file from server) and click OK. GUI gives me error:

An error has occurred The system cannot find the path specified:

In log I get:

[2019-11-20T12:26:23.149+0300] [glassfish 5.1] [INFO] [] [org.glassfish.admingui] [tid: _ThreadID=69 _ThreadName=admin-listener(3)] [timeMillis: 1574241983149] [levelValue: 800] [[ GUI deployment: uploadToTempfile]]

[2019-11-20T12:26:23.165+0300] [glassfish 5.1] [SEVERE] [] [org.glassfish.admingui] [tid: _ThreadID=69 _ThreadName=admin-listener(3)] [timeMillis: 1574241983165] [levelValue: 1000] [[ RestResponse.getResponse() gives FAILURE. endpoint = 'https://localhost:4848/management/domain/resources/add-resources'; attrs = '{id=, target=mdmcluster}']]

Please, give any ideas how to fix this issue.

What file exactly are you trying to upload? It seems that something is not right with the file because the error message shows an empty id: '{id=, target=mdmcluster}' — Christoph John
Maybe you should show the content of the file. Maybe it does not follow the format that Glassfish expects? Or did that file work at some time? — Christoph John
@ChristophJohn, you are right. I messed up with format. Please, give right format for the xml file as an answer. — Ivan Vovk

The correct format for the glassfish-resources.xml file is outlined in the Glassfish Application Deployment Guide page 191. It can be downloaded here: https://javaee.github.io/glassfish/doc/5.0/application-deployment-guide.pdf

Here is an example for defining a JDBC connection pool:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE resources PUBLIC "-//GlassFish.org//DTD GlassFish Application Server 3.1 Resource Definitions//EN" "http://glassfish.org/dtds/glassfish-resources_1_5.dtd">
<resources>

    <!-- Connects to MySql database called 'test' on a server called 'database' -->
    <jdbc-connection-pool name="jdbc/testConnPool"
                          res-type="javax.sql.DataSource"
                          datasource-classname="com.mysql.jdbc.jdbc2.optional.MysqlDataSource"
                          pool-resize-quantity="2"
                          max-pool-size="32"
                          steady-pool-size="8">
        <property name="URL" value="jdbc:mysql://database:3306/test"/>
        <property name="User" value="root"/>
        <property name="Password" value="password"/>
    </jdbc-connection-pool>

    <jdbc-resource enabled="true" jndi-name="jdbc/testDS" object-type="user" pool-name="jdbc/testConnPool">
        <description>Test DataSource jdbc/testDS for Connection Pool jdbc/testConnPool</description>
    </jdbc-resource>

</resources>
