Bash: 
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl enable glassfish

[root@localhost ~]# sudo systemctl enable glassfish

How do I fix this issue?

This is my unit file for glassfish.service. I've tried with 2 different such files yet no good.

Bash: 
[Unit]
Description = GlassFish Server v4.1
After = syslog.targetnetwork.target
[Service]
User=banksmart
Group=banksmart
ExecStart = /home/banksmart/.java/bin/java -jar
/home/banksmart/glassfish4/glassfish/lib/client/appserver-cli.jar start-domain
ExecStop =/home/banksmart/.java/bin/java -jar
/home/banksmart/glassfish4/glassfish/lib/client/appserver-cli.jar stop-domain
ExecReload =/home/banksmart/.java/bin/java -jar
/home/banksmart/glassfish4/glassfish/lib/client/appserver-cli.jar restart-domain
Type = forking
[Install]
WantedBy = multi-user.target

Bash: 
[Unit]
Description = GlassFish Server v4.1
After = syslog.targetnetwork.target
[Service]
User=banksmart
Group=banksmart
ExecStart = /home/banksmart/.java/bin/java -jar
/home/banksmart/glassfish4.1/glassfish4.1/glassfish/lib/client/appserver-cli.jar start-domain
ExecStop =/home/banksmart/.java/bin/java -jar
/home/banksmart/glassfish4.1/glassfish4.1/glassfish/lib/client/appserver-cli.jar stop-domain
ExecReload =/home/banksmart/.java/bin/java -jar
/home/banksmart/glassfish4.1/glassfish4.1/glassfish/lib/client/appserver-cli.jar restart-domain
Type = forking
[Install]
WantedBy = multi-user.target

My appserver-cli.jar is actually located at:
Bash: 
/home/banksmart/glassfish4/glassfish/lib/client/appserver-cli.jar

BTW, I am on centos 7 virtual machine.

This is what systemctl status glassfish produces:

Bash: 
glassfish.service - GlassFish Server v4.1
   Loaded: error (Reason: Bad message)
   Active: inactive (dead)

Why did you start a new topic while you already have one here? My first guess would be that it is running into selinux blocking something since you are start a jar file from your homedir. Where did you actually place glassfish.service, just to see if it's selinux can you try temporarily disabling selinux by running "setenforce 0" and then trying to start the service again?

This is a different issue I think. I fixed it. At line 8, there was some issue as the log says. Putting 7 and 8 on same line fixed the issue for me.
 
It would have been useful to have noted that in your OP in this topic because it's confusing since it's still about the same application you are running into a problem with.
 
If that solution is sustained, you can mark both Threads as Solved.

Just go to your first post in each, choose Edit Thread and click No Prefix and choose Solved.
