The Challenge
SETAR had been running mission-critical applications on GlassFish 3, a platform reaching the end of its lifecycle. The team needed to modernize their environment while ensuring continuity, stability, and minimal disruption to existing applications.
The goal was to move to a supported, production-ready Jakarta EE platform that would protect their investment in existing code and developer knowledge.
The Solution: Payara Enterprise
SETAR migrated from GlassFish 3 to Payara Platform 5 Enterprise with assistance from Payara’s Migration & Project Support service. The process was smooth and efficient, requiring no major code rewrites — allowing the team to transition quickly while maintaining business-critical operations.
“Overall, the migration from GlassFish 3 over to Payara Platform 5 was a straightforward process. There was no need for major code rewrites. SETAR invested in the Migration & Project Support for help during the migration process and Payara’s engineering team was clearly knowledgeable when answering the support tickets.”
