EclipseLink 3.0 doesn't find a suitable jdbc (Jakarta EE) - jpa

Question

I'm trying to run a simple web application on which I want run some tests on Jakarta EE 9.1(Full platform). I deployed my application on Glassfish 6.2.5. While I was running some code with jpa implementation this exception is thrown(the persistence provider is EclipseLink 3.0.2):
jakarta.persistence.PersistenceException: Exception [EclipseLink-4002]
(Eclipse Persistence Services - 3.0.2.v202107160933):
org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.DatabaseException Internal
Exception: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for
jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306;create=true Error Code: 0
The persistence.xml is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<persistence xmlns="https://jakarta.ee/xml/ns/persistence"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="https://jakarta.ee/xml/ns/persistence https://jakarta.ee/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_3_0.xsd"
version="3.0">
<persistence-unit name="GestoreDB" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
<provider>org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider</provider>
<class>testJPA.ValueBeen</class>
<properties>
<property name="jakarta.persistence.schema-generation.action" value="drop-and-create"/>
<property name="jakarta.persistence.schema-generation.scripts.create-target" value="database-and-scripts"/>
<property name="jakarta.persistence.jdbc.driver" value="com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver"/>
<property name="jakarta.persistence.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306;create=true"/>
<property name="jakarta.persistence.jdbc.user" value="root"/>
<property name="jakarta.persistence.jdbc.password" value="myPwd"/>
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
The Entity is(getters and setters omitted):
#Entity
#NamedQuery(name = "ValueBeen.selectTable", query = "select u from ValueBeen u")
public class ValueBeen
{
public ValueBeen(){
}
public ValueBeen(String value)
{
this.value = value;
}
public ValueBeen(int id, String value)
{
this.id = id;
this.value = value;
}
#Id
#GeneratedValue
private int id;
#NotNull
private String value;
...
}
And the WebServlet who perform persistency is:
#WebServlet(name = "helloServlet", value = "/hello-servlet")
public class HelloServlet extends HttpServlet
{
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException
{
ValueBeen valueBeen=new ValueBeen("Hello");
//Manager persistence and manager been
EntityManagerFactory managerPersistence = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("GestoreDB");
EntityManager entityManager = managerPersistence.createEntityManager();
//Do persistence
EntityTransaction transaction = entityManager.getTransaction();
transaction.begin();
entityManager.persist(valueBeen);
transaction.commit();
//close managers
entityManager.close();
managerPersistence.close();
}
}
I put the jdbc connector jar (Mysql connector 8.0.28) in .\glassfish-6.2.5\glassfish\domains\domain1\lib

As you deploy your app to glassfish container then "transaction-type" in persistence.xml i guess should be "JTA", and property "jakarta.persistence.jdbc.url" is invalid because you do not indicate any database / schema name after ":3306". Glassfish documentation provides instructions and examples how to setup global jdbc connections and those limited to only application scope.
