Glassfish v3 in an (opensolaris) zone ...an interesting error and solution
After the installation of Glassfish v3 in an opensolaris zone, Derby booted perfectly, but Glassfish v3 threw this interesting exception:
Waiting for DAS to start ..Error starting domain: domain1.
The server exited prematurely with exit code 6.
Before it died, it produced the following output:
UTF ERROR ["../../../src/solaris/instrument/EncodingSupport_md.c":66]: Failed to complete
iconv_open() setup
A zone is a lean, isolated kernel with only the essential stuff. It comes without any language and encoding support. The remedy for this problem is the installation of the package (SUNWlang-enUS) with: pkg install SUNWlang-enUS, and setting the preferred language in the .profile to e.g. export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 (thanks Manfred Riem for this hint).
Zones are really interesting for configuration and isolation. They are pretty fast as well. Booting a zone is almost as fast, as deployment of a Java EE 6 application :-) -> on my machine it takes <1 second.

@Vivek,
sorry - but I don't run solaris any more, so I won't be able to re-produce your problem,

@vivek On Solaris Express and opensolaris it should be the same. After you unzip and run glassfish you may have to add your solaris pkg repo back. I did:
# pkg set-publisher -O http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/ solaris
then
# pkg install --accept SUNWlang-enUS
ymmv

In the end I copied the entire usr lib iconv direcotry from the global zone to the non global and that worked out.
