New Stuff!

MicroProfile 1.2

Also released in 5.Beta2 (download here), we’ve included support for MicroProfile 1.2, which includes:

  • Config 1.1
  • Fault Tolerance 1.0
  • Health Check 1.0
  • JWT-Auth 1.0
  • Metrics 1.0

You can find a related blog from Mike Croft on using Fault Tolerance with Payara Micro here. It’s focused on Payara Micro 5, but it should also work on Payara Micro 4.1.2.181.

 

Usability Improvements

This release also includes a number of simple usability improvements, which hopefully make Payara Server & Micro easier to use.

These include a more accurate message for if you execute the stop-domain command without any domains running, a configurable timeout parameter for when starting instances, not having to specify the –deploy parameter for Payara Micro, and the ability to stop the server logging to a file.

 

For a full list of fixes, features and improvements, see the Release Notes.

 

Important Stuff!

Sadly, or excitingly depending on your outlook, 4.181 will be the last public release of Payara Server & Micro in the 4.x Community stream; next month will (hopefully!) see the release of Payara Server & Payara Micro 5.181! In line with this, the master branch on GitHub will shortly be shifting over to Payara 5, and a new Payara-4 (or similarly named) branch will be created for any additional maintenance fixes.

 

If you need continued support for Payara Server 4.x and/or Payara Micro 4.x, please take a look at our paid Support Services – these provide support for Payara Server 4.x; Payara Micro 4.x and Enterprise Zulu JDK 8 through until 2024.

    Thanks for the new release. Not sure if you already caught it, but README for 181 still shows 174.
