Behind the Scenes of Payara Server

You might already know that Payara Server originated out of a Glassfish fork. Glassfish being the reference implementation server of Java EE. Let's take a closer look at the components and modules that make up Payara Server.

How to Install OpenJDK

If you don’t already have a JDK installed, you’ll need to download and install one before you can deploy Payara Server. We recommend Zulu®, an OpenJDK that is fully compliant with the Java SE standard, 100% open source, and can be downloaded and used for free. Also, should you ever purchase support for the Payara Platform, support for Zulu OpenJDK is included.

This means from within the admin console you can send your asadmin commands directly to any Payara Micro instance within your cluster.
