This is Part 1 of our 'Payara Server- Back to Basics' series, where we will show you a step-by-step overview of how to install Payara Server 5 on Ubuntu. 

This is an updated blog of the original which was published in May 2016

Payara Server provides the Health Check Service for automatic self-monitoring in order to detect future problems as soon as possible. When enabled, the Health Check Service periodically checks some low level metrics. Whenever it detects that a threshold is not met, it triggers alert notifications that allow to detect undesired behavior and predict possible failures. All of these automatic checks are very lightweight and run with a negligible impact on performance.

Summer is coming, and Payara Platform 192 is already here! Here's a sampling of the new features, enhancements, fixes, and updates you can expect in this release:

 

One of the biggest challenges when developing applications for the web is to understand how they need to be fine-tuned when releasing them into a production environment. This is no exception for Java Enterprise applications deployed on a Payara Server installation. 

 

Running a Payara Server setup is simple: download the current distribution suited for your needs (full, web); head to the /bin folder and start the default domain (domain1)! However, keep in mind that this default domain is tailored for development purposes (a trait inherited from GlassFish Server Open Source). When developing a web application, it’s better to quickly code features, deploy them quickly, test them, un-deploy (or redeploy) them, and continue with the next set of features until a stable state is reached.

Payara and GlassFish have supported classic remote EJB since its inception. Classic remote EJB uses RMI-IIOP (Remote Method Invocation over Internet Inter-ORB Protocol ) for transport and CSIv2 (Common Secure Interoperability Protocol Version 2) for security.

A change in the year means a change in our version number! Slightly later than our usual release month of February, we've tried to include some more changes in the release than a simple number change to make the wait worthwhile: read on to find out more!

 

 

This is an update of the article "How to Upgrade Payara Server."

 

Since Payara Server is on a regular and frequent release cycle, we get a lot of questions on how to upgrade to the latest version while maintaining existing domain configurations.

This debugging guide will help you to diagnose and detect the cause of errors in your application by debugging Payara Server or Payara Micro.

The 5.182 release of Payara Server & Payara Micro (Payara Platform) brings in MicroProfile 1.3. This introduces a couple of updates to some existing specifications, and three new ones: OpenTracing, OpenAPI, and Type-safe REST Client. In this blog, I’ll be covering our implementation of the Type-safe REST Client. 

*Note: This blog post is an update to Load Balancing Across Payara Server Instances with Apache Web Server, which was written for Payara Server 4.

Introduction

Continuing our introductory blog series (Payara Server 5 Basics), this blog will demonstrate how to add load balancing capability to Apache Web Server and forward to our simple Payara Server cluster.
