Payara Server 4.1.153

Release Highlights

This release has several notable features:

• The Payara Micro API has been improved, now granting control over running instances and the ability to run asadmin commands.
• There is now an auto-binding feature for the HTTP and HTTPS ports of Payara Micro instances. This feature allows Payara Micro instances to automatically find a free port if the default or specified HTTP or HTTPS ports are already bound to.
• This release also introduces the Payara-Blue series of distributions, built using the IBM JDK for AIX systems.

See the What's new in Payara 4.1.153 blog for descriptions of these features.

Release Highlights

The payara-embedded-nucleus distribution has been replaced by the Payara Micro distribution. This is a light-weight distribution that has Hazelcast integrated to allow for automatic web session clustering and JCache distribution.

• Increased PermGen Size of 512m (previously 192m)
• Increased Xmx value of 1024m (previously 512m)
• Removed Felix OSGI parameters
• Increased HTTP thread pool size of 50 (previously 5)
• Changed the JVM option –client to –server (this has been done for both domain templates)
• Added the JVM option to reject client initiated TLS renegotiation

Payara Server 4.1.151

Release Highlights

JBatch has been upgraded to version 1.0.1-b04 and now recognises MySQL, Postgresql, Oracle, and DB2 as persistence managers. Hazelcast 3.4 has also been implemented as a clustered web session store and provider of JSR107.

We are also now providing distributions of the Multi-Language (ml) releases, which contain the l10n packages from GlassFish.

Note – We lack translations for the additions we have made, such as the Hazelcast configuration page in the Admin Console. We would prefer to not accept internet translations as they are typically inaccurate.
