Payara Server Embedded Arquillian Container

The Payara Server Community Embedded container lifecycle is managed by Arquillian and resides in the same JVM where tests are executed using a local protocol.

Usage

The Payara Server Community Embedded Arquillian container can be found on Maven Central, and can be included in your project using the following Maven coordinates:

<dependency>
  <groupId>fish.payara.arquillian</groupId>
  <artifactId>arquillian-payara-server-embedded</artifactId>
  <version>${version}</version>
</dependency>

You can find the latest artifact version from here.

Configuring the Container

The following configuration options are available, each of which can be provided through the specified system properties in the arquillian JVM:

Table 1. Configuration Options
Name	Description	Default
`bindHttpPort`	The port number of the http-listener for the embedded Payara Server Community.	`8181`
`bindHttpsPort`	The port number of the https-listener for the embedded Payara Server Community.	`8182`
`instanceRoot`	The instance root directory is the domain directory and embedded Payara Server Community uses the server instance directory for domain configuration files.	`N/A`
`installRoot`	The install root directory is the parent directory of a Payara Server Community instance directory and corresponds to the base directory for an installation of Payara Server.	`N/A`
`configurationReadOnly`	Specifies whether Payara should write back any changes to specified configuration file or config/domain.xml at the specified instance root.	`true`
`configurationXml`	Set the location of configuration file i.e. domain.xml using which the Payara Server Community should run.	`N/A`
`resourcesXml`	A comma-separated list of Payara resources.xml files containing resources that will be added to the Payara instance using the `add-resources` command.	`N/A`
`cleanup`	Specifies whether Arquillian should cleanup on shutdown. This recursively deletes files in the `instanceRoot` directory.	`true`

The easiest way to provide these system properties to the extension runtime is through the surefire plugin.
