In this interview for JAXenter.com , Steve Millidge, the Founder of Payara and speaker at JAX 2016, talks about how to use CDI annotations in your Java EE applications, when to use which annotations, and what is automagically happening under the covers.

Steve also tells us exactly how heavyweight Java EE really is, explaining the repercussions and solutions.

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.

 

In this post, let's see a minimal usage of <f:websocket/> tag.

 

Of course, as responsible developers, we all thoroughly test our code and therefore our applications never need troubleshooting; it's everyone else's code that goes wrong.

 

So what do we do when the inevitable happens?

 

Luckily for those who couldn't attend JavaOne 2015  in San Francisco last October, you can now watch most of the conference presentations on-line. Here's our selection of the JavaOne 2015 talks using Payara Server and Payara Micro.

 

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. 

 

'Running Java EE 7 Based Applications Using Payara Micro'. In this short demo David Winters, Payara Support Engineer, will show you how to start Payara Micro, how to run web applications on it and how you can use Payara Micro API to launch Payara Micro server instances from within your own Java applications and projects.

 

 

Recently Juergen Hoeller from Spring put out a blog implying Java EE 7 is not fit for production and denigrating some fine open source servers in the process.

Payara Micro is a new way of running Java EE applications without having to install a full application server.
