2.2 MySQL 8

1. Install MySQL using the downloaded installer.

2. Download Connector-J. It should download by default to 'Program Files (x86)\MySQL\Connector J 8.0'.

3. Create the database and user to manage it. Execute the following SQL statements in your MySQL client:

   CREATE DATABASE jakarta;
   CREATE USER 'jakarta'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'Jakarta@1!';
   GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON jakarta.* TO 'jakarta'@'localhost';
   FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

2.3 Payara 6

1. Unzip the downloaded Payara package.

2. Navigate to payara/glassfish/domains/domain1 folder and paste the MySQL Connector there. Also, paste it inside the "lib" folder. So, there should be one in payara6/glassfish/domains/domain1/lib and another in payara6/glassfish/domains/domain1 directory.

3. Open a command prompt or terminal and navigate to payara6/bin directory.

4. Run the asadmin.bat (or asadmin.sh for Linux/Mac) file.

5. Once in the asadmin console, type the following command and press Enter to start the domain:

   start-domain

6. Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:4848. It will open the Payara admin console.

7. In the admin console, navigate to Resources -> JDBC -> JDBC Connection Pools.

8. Click on New... to create a new JDBC connection pool.

9. Fill in the following details:

   • Pool Name: MySQLPool
   • Resource Type: javax.sql.DataSource
   • Database Driver Vendor: MySQL

10. Click Next and scroll down to Additional Properties.

11. Add the following properties (or modify as needed):

• password: Jakarta@1!
• databaseName: jakarta
• serverName: localhost
• user: jakarta
• portNumber: 3306
• UseSSL: false
• allowPublicKeyRetrieval: true

12. Click Finish to create the JDBC connection pool.

13. Ping the resource pool to ensure it's working properly.

14. Next, add a JDBC resource using the pool you just created:

• JDNI Name: jdbc/MySQL
• Pool Name: MySQLPool

15. Click OK to save the JDBC resource.

16. Finally, go back to the asadmin console and type the following command to stop the domain:

    stop-domain

2.4 NetBeans 18

1. Follow the installation instructions for NetBeans 18, using the downloaded JDK as its default.

2. Once NetBeans is installed, open it and go to the Tools menu.

3. Select Servers from the menu.

4. In the Servers window, click on Add Server.

5. Choose Payara Server, browse to the location where you unzipped the Payara server, and click Next.

6. Leave the domain location unchanged and click Finish to add the Payara server.

Once all the above steps are completed, you can open your project in NetBeans. Make sure there are no issues related to the Java Platform. You should now be able to run your project, and NetBeans will handle deploying the application to the Payara server.

The web application should be available at http://localhost:8080/Jakarta10/index.xhtml.
