Stopping an Instance

This section describes how to shut down a Payara Micro instance.

6.1 Stopping an Instance from the Command Line

There is no specific option for shutting down a Payara Micro instance. The only way to shut down an instance from the command line is to find the process ID of the Payara Micro instance, and send a kill signal to it.

6.2 Stopping an Instance Programmatically

To shut down a Payara Micro instance programmatically, you will need to use the shutdown() method of the PayaraMicro or PayaraMicroRuntime class.

The shutdown() method of the PayaraMicro class must be called on the instance of Payara Micro that you want to shut down, so will realistically only be used on a PayaraMicro instance variable:

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

public class EmbeddedPayara 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws BootstrapException 
    {
        PayaraMicro micro = PayaraMicro.getInstance();
        micro.bootStrap();

        micro.shutdown();
    }
}

The shutdown() method of the PayaraMicroRuntime class is tied to an instance variable, so is used in much the same way:

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

public class EmbeddedPayara 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws BootstrapException 
    {
        PayaraMicroRuntime instance = PayaraMicro.bootstrap();

        instance.shutdown();
    }
}
