    Hi, i am trying to upgrade payara from 5-6 with Java 17 and cannot move because of Glassfish (6.17) error with CDI and hibernate.validator.cdi (cannot instantiate).
    Are there any bugs raised for this topic / workarounds?

      Hi Tomasz,
      Unfortunately, without seeing the full stack trace from you, it’s hard to give any pointers. We do have this guide –> https://www.payara.fish/blog/upgrading-from-payara-enterprise-5-to-payara-enterprise-6-with-the-payara-server-upgrade-tool.

      It covers upgrading from Payara 5 to 6. Feel to free to post the detailed stack trace in the forums and we can take a further look https://forum.payara.fish/
