I encountered this issue in 2019 and would like to note that if you are using docker image payara/server-full (I am using 5.194 so far) as I do the location to place the driver jar is:

/opt/payara/appserver/glassfish/domains/production/lib/

In the end I am doing something like this in the Dockerfile of payara server:

RUN wget http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/mariadb/jdbc/mariadb-java-client/2.2.0/mariadb-java-client-2.2.0.jar \
    -O /opt/payara/appserver/glassfish/domains/production/lib/mariadb-java-client-2.2.0.jar
