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.
