Bill Of Material Artifact

Since 5.194

Payara Platform consists of many artifacts and it depends on lots of APIs as well as their implementations. Having matching versions of these dependencies prevents many classloading issues. Payara’s Bill Of Material (BOM) artifact collects all of these versions for the following types of artifacts:

  • Payara Distribution artifacts

  • Payara Client libraries

  • Jakarta EE, Eclipse Microprofile and OSGi APIs

  • Arquillian Containers

  • Implementations and libraries shipped with the server (consult the list below)

Quick Start

To make use of the BOM, you need to list the artifact in dependencyManagement section of your project in scope import. Some of the artifacts are Payara-specific patch versions which are available in our repository Payara_PatchedProjects.

Add following snippet to your Maven project:

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>fish.payara.api</groupId>
            <artifactId>payara-bom</artifactId>
            <version>5.194</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

<!-- Some of the referenced APIs in POM are Payara's patched versions.
      These are published in following repo: -->
<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>payara-patched-externals</id>
        <name>Payara Patched Externals</name>
        <url>https://raw.github.com/payara/Payara_PatchedProjects/master</url>
        <releases>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
        </releases>
        <snapshots>
            <enabled>false</enabled>
        </snapshots>
    </repository>

</repositories>

An example application utilizing the BOM can be seen in repository Payara Examples at path ecosystem/payara-bom/bom-import/.

Contents of the BOM

Payara Distribution

Distribution artifacts do not define scope and are therefore imported in scope compile..

</dependency>

Payara API

 
<dependency>
  <groupId>fish.payara.api</groupId>
  <artifactId>payara-api</artifactId>
</dependency>

APIs

APIs are declared in scope provided, as they define classes present within the server runtime.

Artifact Example usage Note

Jakarta EE

 
<dependency>
  <groupId>jakarta.platform</groupId>
  <artifactId>jakarta.jakartaee-api</artifactId>
</dependency>

Also available jakarta.jakartaee-web-api, and all individual API artifacts.

</dependency>

Individual APIs are also declared.

OSGi

 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.osgi</groupId>
    <artifactId>org.osgi.core</artifactId>
</dependency>

Also available are org.osgi.compendium and org.osgi.enterprise

Test tooling

Arquillian is the recommended way for integration tests with the server. Payara Platform provides multiple connectors fitting the deployment scenarios. These artifacts are declared in scope test.

Payara Server also ships with two embedded databases, matching versions of those are also declared, but in default scope.

Artifact Example usage Note

Arquillian container - Remote

 
<dependency>
  <groupId>fish.payara.arquillian</groupId>

  <artifactId>derby</artifactId>
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Also available derbyclient (Remote JDBC client), derbynet (Network server) and various locale packages.

Libraries and API implementations

This is non-exhaustive list of dependencies. By default all are declared in default scope, but it is more correct to use them with scope provided if they exist in directory glassfish/modules.
