In the upcoming Payara 4.1.153 release, Payara Micro will be shipping with support for the first working iteration of this new feature. To help and keep Payara as a drop-in replacement for GlassFish though, the auto-binding is not enabled by default, and is instead enabled by passing in an extra option when starting Payara Micro.
The three new Payara Micro options pertaining to this feature are:
- --autoBindHttp – Enables auto-bind functionality for the HTTP port
- --autoBindSsl – Enables auto-bind functionality for the HTTPS port
- --autoBindRange – Sets the range for the auto-bind feature
It’s super easy to use, you just have to set the respective auto-bind option to true for the HTTP and/or SSL port:
java -jar payara-micro.jar --autoBindHttp
java -jar payara-micro.jar --port 8080 --autoBindHttp --autoBindRange 3
