Payara

This page has been automatically generated by Cargo's build. Do not edit it directly as it'll be overwritten next time it's generated again.

Users of Payara 6.x onwards should be aware that, as a result of the move from Java EE to Jakarta EE as part of the transfer of Java EE to the Eclipse Foundation, the primary package for all implemented APIs has changed from javax.* to jakarta.*. This will almost certainly require code changes to enable applications to migrate to Payara 6.x and later.
