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The payara-embedded-nucleus distribution has been replaced by the Payara Micro distribution.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.

We have also added a separate payaradomain template, which has a few optimizations:

  • 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
