How Java works on Windows Azure? A Java application works within a

Windows Azure worker roleThe Java developer chooses and provides:

Java Runtime (JRE)Java App Server (Apache Tomcat, Jetty, Glassfish, WebSphere etc.,)The app code/package

And then, when a new Windows Azure Worker Role starts:

Windows Azure Service runtime installs JRE, Web Server Package And bootstraps the Java Web Server with application

Management REST APIs

Java service is sent to Fabric Controller (FC) based on target regionFabric Controller stores image in repository and deploys and activates service
