Comprehensive Getting Started Guide – Payara Server

Jakarta EE

Payara Platform is an open source middleware platform that supports Jakarta EE (formerly Java EE) applications in ANY environment: on premise, in the cloud, or hybrid. 

It is a solution to GlassFish problems such as lack of supported Docker images and automation assistance, no internal monitoring system and an absence of modern security standards and critical server event alerts and notfiers. It is also an alternative to Oracle Weblogic, Wildfly, JBoss EAP, WebSphere, OpenLiberty and more. 

Our previous Getting Started guide had not been updated with improvements to Payara Platform, such as our hide password with password aliases feature – and did not contain comprehensive guides to integration with other technologies.

Our Updated Guide Includes: 

  • Installing the Payara Server: Build Tool, IDE options

  • Deploying an application in Payara Server 
  • Guide to configuring and using a database
  • Different Database and Datasource options

  • Explanations for use of features with both Admin Console and asadmin CLI
