Introduction

OpenID Connect is a security mechanism for an application to contact an identity service, verify the identity of the End-User based, and obtain End-User information using REST API's in a secure way.

A REST Service in Java EE can be created using JAX-RS. The contents of such service can be consumed using ordinary HTTP requests to a URL. URLs are typically kept simple and have a logical pattern, so it's easy to type them manually in e.g. a browser. This is different from SOAP, which essentially uses HTTP as well, but is designed to be rather complex and therefor making it not so easy to quickly test something in a browser.

JSF is a component oriented MVC (Model View Controller) framework that's a part of Java EE. It comes with a small set of basic components (widgets), a templating engine, and facilities for converting and validating input. JSF strongly builds on other APIs in Java EE. Request handling is build on top of the Servlet API, binding UI components to Java code is mostly done via Java EE's Expression Language, with the Java code being (named) CDI beans. Validation is often delegated to Bean Validation.

Payara Server 5が既にリリースされていますので、基本的な事柄をブラッシュアップするにはちょうど良い頃でしょう。これから、Payara ServerのCLIでできることをいくつか見てゆきたいと思います。

コマンドライン・インタフェース (CLI) はコマンドライン (またはターミナル) からPayara Serverをコントロールする手段であり、複数の方法でサーバーの起動、停止、編集を行うことができます。管理コンソールでも必要なあらゆる管理操作を実行することはできますが、CLIを用いると、特にヘッドレス・サーバー (GUIを持たないサーバー) を扱う場合において、あらゆる管理タスクをより素早く簡単に実行できる場合があります。

When Appriss tried migrating from GlassFish 3 to Glassfish 4 they encountered problems that prevented a successful migration. Without support from GlassFish, they were simply stuck. Payara engineers assisted Appriss through a Migration & Project Support engagement to resolve all issues and migrate Appriss production GlassFish applications to Payara Server.

Introduction

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

Open source software offers a number of advantages over proprietary software. Many businesses prefer open source options as it reduces the procurement barrier. A survey conducted by Black Duck Software and North Bridge revealed that 78% of today’s businesses already rely on open-source software for increased security and the lack of licensing fees. It is estimated that the use of open source saves businesses $60 billion (USD) annually.

One of the new features in Payara Platform version 5.182 is full compatibility with MicroProfile 1.3. In this blog post, I will introduce OpenAPI 1.0, a new API in MicroProfile 1.3. This functionality is available in both Payara Server and Payara Micro in version 5.182. It's also available in version 4.1.2.182 for Payara Support customers.
