The Payara Monthly Catch -September 2025
Welcome aboard the September issue of The Monthly Catch! With summer holidays wrapping up, the Java world is back […]
Splashing onto the scene with a tidal wave of updates, the November 2023 release of Payara Platform is here. This release brings enhancements, security fixes, and bug fixes, ensuring a more robust and efficient environment for your mission critical workload. Payara Enterprise 6.8.0 comes with 4 improvements, 3 bug fixes, 1 security fix and 1 component upgrade. Payara Community 6.2023.11 also comes with 4 improvements, 3 bug fixes, 1 security fix and 1 component upgrade.
The start-domain command now features the –warmup flag, ensuring the command terminates after the post-boot commands have been completed (assuming there is no application available for being deployed yet). This ensures that a server domain’s setup works correctly without the need to have the server running.
We’ve introduced individual timeout options for Start, Stop, and Restart Domains commands. This enhancement provides finer control over domain operations, allowing for more flexibility and reliability in managing your server instances.
Both versions see an update in Docker JDK versions. These updates ensure that the Payara Platform remains secure, stable, and in line with current JDK releases.
A significant security fix addresses the CVE-2023-41699 vulnerability, safeguarding against URL redirection to untrusted sites. Ensuring the security of our users’ applications is a top priority for us.
We’ve tackled crucial bugs, including fixing EclipseLink L2 Caching NullPointer Exception and Deadlock, as well as resolving the “Cannot Load Custom Realm Class” error on Windows. These fixes enhance the stability and reliability of the Payara Server.
Upgrading the Maven Bundle Plugin to 5.1.9 is part of our continuous effort to keep the platform’s components up-to-date, ensuring compatibility and performance improvements.
This month, alongside the release, we also also bring a very exciting new option for generating your projects!
Payara Starter is a source code generator to create new Payara Server or Payara Micro projects. It allows you to quickly and easily start with Payara Platform!
Take advantage of customisation options: select your chosen JDK versions, Jakarta EE profiles, build tools, Docker support, and more. Payara Starter will also streamline your project by integrating with popular IDEs.
Simply select your options, and click ‘Generate’ – and Payara Platform is ready to use.
