Guest blog by Anghel Leonard ( @anghelleonard ).

 

Starting with JSF 2.3-m05 we can take advantage of a brand new feature - register a WebSocket push connection in client side. Thanks to the JSF team (especially to Bauke Scholtz (aka BalusC)) this feature is available in today milestone via <f:websocket/> tag.

Asadmin Recorder - New Payara Server Feature Demo

One of the most exciting new features in the Payara Server 162 release is the Asadmin Recorder - a tool especially useful for the Operations Teams!

Deploying Multiple Application Versions on Payara Server

Payara Server makes it possible to deploy multiple versions of the same application at the same time. While only one of the deployed versions can be enabled and running, all the other versions remain on the server and you may enable them at any time to immediately switch the running versions.
