Payara Server Deployment Descriptor Files

Support of GlassFish deployment descriptors

Payara Server supports specifying deployment configuration using GlassFish deployment descriptor files.

Payara deployment descriptors

Additionally from version 5.183, payara-web.xml can be used instead of glassfish-web.xml. The top level element for the payara-web.xml file must be payara-web-app and the schema can be refererenced by:

<!DOCTYPE payara-web-app PUBLIC "-//Payara.fish//DTD Payara Server 4 Servlet 3.0//EN" "{payaraWebDtd}">

See the schema reference for the list of deployment descriptor DTD files.
