When we founded Payara and started development on Payara Server, one of our key goals was to make Payara Server the best application server for production work loads. Operations Teams will be happy to hear that the February 161 release adds Slow SQL Logging and in-built Server HealthChecks as new capabilities for managing production workloads!

 

Both Payara Server and Payara Micro support Batch Applications for the Java Platform (JSR 352) for the implementation of batch jobs needing no direct user interaction. This article will describe a single step batch application that appends the current datatime to a file every 30 seconds to demonstrate the setup of a simple timer scheduled batch job.
