Payara Server
Open-source Jakarta EE application server, distributed as a ZIP bundle, that runs on a Java virtual machine.
Payara Server is a Jakarta EE application server that runs on a Java virtual machine. The community edition is distributed as a ZIP bundle that is unzipped into a directory, as the getting started guide describes, and it is administered through an Administration Console opened in a browser. The source sits in the repository, which also holds Payara Micro Community. Its community documentation is served from Azul’s domain.
Worth knowing
The project’s own site now says a new payara.org is coming, and the product pages and documentation sit on Azul’s domain, so the record stays hidden until the maintainer of the community edition is confirmed.
