Executing Server Jar Programatically (Caucho Resin)

I have successfully used the Caucho Resin web server and I'm considering of packaging it into a java application. They provide a jar file and code in order to start the server programatically.

Example: example/TestResin.java

package example;

import com.caucho.resin.*;

public class TestResin {

  public static void main(String []args)
  {
    ResinEmbed resin = new ResinEmbed();

    HttpEmbed http = new HttpEmbed(8080);
    resin.addPort(http);

    WebAppEmbed webApp = new WebAppEmbed("/", "/var/www/htdocs");
    resin.addWebApp(webApp);

    resin.start();
    resin.join();
  }
}

However I get the following error

Solution:

Added the javaee-16.jar library found inside glassfish installation directory and all works. Apparently donwloading the glassfish-api.jar from Oracle doesn't work because only methods declarations are included and no implementations.
