Issue/Introduction
When I start the Oracle directory Server with a specific domain configured, I'm getting the following error and the server doesn't start :
Waiting for dscc7 to start .....Error starting domain dscc7.
The server exited prematurely with exit code 1.
Before it dies, it produces the following output:
Launching GlassFish on Felix platform
ERROR: Error parsing system bundle export statement: org.osgi.framework; version=1.6.0, org.osgi.framework.launch; version=1.0.0, org.osgi.framework.wiring; version=1.0.0, org.osgi.framework.startlevel; version=1.0.0, org.osgi.framework.hooks.bundle; version=1.0.0, org.osgi.framework.hooks.resolver; version=1.0.0, org.osgi.framework.hooks.service; version=1.1.0, org.osgi.framework.hooks.weaving; version=1.0.0, org.osgi.service.packageadmin; version=1.2.0, org.osgi.service.startlevel; version=1.1.0, org.osgi.service.url; version=1.0.0, org.osgi.util.tracker; version=1.5.0, , org.glassfish.embeddable;org.glassfish.embeddable.spi;version=3.1.1 (org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Exported package names cannot be zero length.)
Why do I have this issue and how can I solve it ?
The goal is to use Glassfsh as application server to manage the Oracle Directory Server instance. We want to use the oracle Directory instance as Policy Store.
I have followed the Oracle documentation for the installation and configuration of Oracle directory Server and Glassfish 3.0

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26576_01/doc.312/e24935/installing.htm
At one stage I need to start the domain created :
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E29127_01/doc.111170/e28973/deploying-dscc-war-file.htm#BABDHIDH
$ asadmin --user admin start-domain --domaindir glassfish-domain-path dscc7
Environment
Component: SMPLC
Cause
Your Oracle directory Server doesn't use the JDK 1.7 and that's why it doesn't start.
Resolution
To solve this issue, you need to use the JDK 1.7 instead of the JDK 1.8.
For change the JDK version on the RedHat System, you need to do the following steps in command line :
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
There are 2 programs which provide 'java'.
Selection Command

Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number: 1
then start the domain :
