Glassfish 5.1.0 error when adding resources from web console - glassfish

Question

Glassfish server up and running. I want to add some data source, and do it from web console->Resources.
Click button "Add Resources" then choose file from my computer (same to the file from server) and click OK. GUI gives me error:
An error has occurred
The system cannot find the path specified:
In log I get:

Please, give any ideas how to fix this issue.

The correct format for the glassfish-resources.xml file is outlined in the Glassfish Application Deployment Guide page 191. It can be downloaded here: https://javaee.github.io/glassfish/doc/5.0/application-deployment-guide.pdf
Here is an example for defining a JDBC connection pool:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE resources PUBLIC "-//GlassFish.org//DTD GlassFish Application Server 3.1 Resource Definitions//EN" "http://glassfish.org/dtds/glassfish-resources_1_5.dtd">
<resources>
<!-- Connects to MySql database called 'test' on a server called 'database' -->
<jdbc-connection-pool name="jdbc/testConnPool"
res-type="javax.sql.DataSource"
datasource-classname="com.mysql.jdbc.jdbc2.optional.MysqlDataSource"
pool-resize-quantity="2"
max-pool-size="32"
steady-pool-size="8">
<property name="URL" value="jdbc:mysql://database:3306/test"/>
<property name="User" value="root"/>
<property name="Password" value="password"/>
</jdbc-connection-pool>
<jdbc-resource enabled="true" jndi-name="jdbc/testDS" object-type="user" pool-name="jdbc/testConnPool">
<description>Test DataSource jdbc/testDS for Connection Pool jdbc/testConnPool</description>
</jdbc-resource>
</resources>
