Deploying an Application Programmatically from a Maven Repository

Payara Micro Enterprise supports deployment of application directly from a Maven repository.

Deploying an Artefact Using Maven Coordinates

To deploy an application programmatically directly from a Maven repository, you will need to add a Maven GAV coordinate. This can be done using addDeployFromGAV() method. This method accepts a comma separated string denoting a maven artefact’s groupId, artifactId, and version attributes.

import fish.payara.micro.PayaraMicro;
import fish.payara.micro.BootstrapException;

public class EmbeddedPayara{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws BootstrapException{
       PayaraMicro.getInstance().addDeployFromGAV("fish.payara.testing,clusterjsp, 1.1").bootStrap();
    }
}

Specifying Additional Maven Repositories

By default, Payara Micro Enterprise will only search for artefacts in the Maven Central repository. If you wish to search additional repositories, you can add them to the list of repositories to search with the addRepoUrl() method:

import fish.payara.micro.PayaraMicro;
import fish.payara.micro.BootstrapException;

public class EmbeddedPayara{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws BootstrapException{
       PayaraMicro.getInstance().addRepoUrl("https://raw.github.com/Pandrex247/Payara_PatchedProjects/Payara-Maven-Deployer");
       PayaraMicro.getInstance().addDeployFromGAV("fish.payara.testing,clusterjsp,1.1").bootStrap();
    }
}

To search through multiple additional repositories, you can simply call the addRepoUrl method, using commas to separate URLs:

import fish.payara.micro.PayaraMicro;
import fish.payara.micro.BootstrapException;

public class EmbeddedPayara{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws BootstrapException{
       PayaraMicro micro = PayaraMicro.getInstance();
       micro.addRepoUrl("https://raw.github.com/Pandrex247/Payara_PatchedProjects/Payara-Maven-Deployer", "https://maven.java.net/content/repositories/promoted/");
       micro.addDeployFromGAV("fish.payara.testing,clusterjsp,1.1");
       micro.bootStrap();
    }
}

Deploying Multiple Applications from a Maven Repository

Similar to when deploying multiples applications from the command line, you must call the addDeployFromGAV method for each application you wish to deploy directly from a Maven repository.

For example, to deploy two applications:

import fish.payara.micro.PayaraMicro;
import fish.payara.micro.BootstrapException;

public class EmbeddedPayara{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws BootstrapException{
       PayaraMicro micro = PayaraMicro.getInstance();
       micro.addDeployFromGAV("fish.payara.testing,clusterjsp,1.1");
       micro.addDeployFromGAV("fish.payara.testing,demo,1.0");
       micro.bootStrap();
    }
}
