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 […]
The July 2025 release brings meaningful updates across the Payara Platform family, with improvements to database connectivity, critical bug fixes for CDI memory management, and comprehensive component upgrades.
This month’s releases include Payara Platform Community 6.2025.7 (DOWNLOAD HERE), Enterprise 6.28.0, Enterprise 5.77.0 (FREE TRIAL), and Payara 7 Alpha 3.
All editions now feature improved JDBC connection handling when using the Trino driver, making it easier to integrate with Trino (formerly PrestoSQL) data sources. This enhancement streamlines connectivity for organizations using Trino for distributed SQL query processing across heterogeneous data sources.
Both Payara Platform Community 6.2025.7 and Enterprise 6.28.0 have removed CDI Dev Mode. This change streamlines the CDI implementation, reducing complexity and improving performance in production environments. Teams on these versions of Payara Platform should ensure their development workflows no longer rely on CDI Dev Mode features before upgrading. CDI Dev mode however, is still available in Payara Platform 5.
A significant memory leak has been fixed in Payara 6 editions (Community 6.2025.7 and Enterprise 6.28.0) when using Jakarta CDI @Dependent scoped instances. This fix prevents memory accumulation over time, improving application stability in long-running deployments.
Payara 6 editions also resolve an UnproxyableResolutionException error that occurred in Payara Micro clustered environments, ensuring smoother operation of distributed microservices deployments.
Thanks to community contributor pzygielo, a typo in the DependOn annotation has been corrected across all editions, improving code clarity and preventing potential confusion.
Major component updates include:
Additional updates:
For organizations maintaining Jakarta EE 8 applications:
The latest alpha release continues advancing Jakarta EE 11 support with several enhancements:
We extend our thanks to Pzygielo for the documentation fix contribution. Community involvement continues to strengthen the Payara Platform.
These releases demonstrate our ongoing commitment to platform stability, security, and modernization across all Payara editions.
For Jakarta EE 11 Early Adopters: Payara 7 Alpha 3 lets you explore the future of enterprise Java.
We recommend upgrading to these latest releases to benefit from improved memory management, enhanced database connectivity, and updated components. Note that CDI Dev Mode has been removed from Payara 6 editions, so ensure your applications are compatible before upgrading. For detailed upgrade instructions, please consult our official documentation.
