This entry is part 1 of 2 in the series Upgrading to Jakarta EE 10

Upgrading from Jakarta EE 10 from an older version of Jakarta EE or Java EE can be a bit tricky and may require some extra attention to detail. One of the main things you may encounter is making sure your existing code and libraries are compatible. Some libraries may still be using the javax package, which can cause conflicts when trying to run your applications on a Jakarta EE server like Eclipse GlassFish 7. You might also run into problems with some deprecated APIs that were removed in Jakarta EE 10.

But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! In this post and the future posts in this series, we’ll explain everything you need to know to upgrade to Jakarta EE 10 successfully and almost in no time.

Jakarta EE Survey 2022/2023 – results

Leave a Comment / News / By / March 29, 2023 /

Last year we started a survey about Jakarta EE. 

In this survey we asked several questions about Jakarta EE, what people use exactly, and what they would like to see next. The survey was promoted in September 2022. The survey was left alone for the next months, until a little promotion was done towards the end of the year. In total we ended up with 720 respondents in total, which is slightly up from the 684 we got last time.

EJB support in Piranha via CDI

Leave a Comment / Other / By / February 12, 2023 / , , ,

Enterprise Beans was once the face of Java EE, but as we discussed a while ago, is currently de-emphasised in Jakarta EE. However, since there’s so much existing code using Enterprise Beans, a certain level of support is still desired.

Piranha Cloud, a relatively new runtime supporting Jakarta EE, takes a somewhat novel approach to Enterprise Beans. Instead of implementing a separate container, Piranha Cloud, via the OmniBeans project, maps Enterprise Beans annotations to equivalent functionality in CDI itself, or to technologies in Jakarta EE leveraging CDI (such as Jakarta Transactions). Enterprise Beans features not currently present in Jakarta EE, such as the pooled concept for Stateless beans, are provided by the OmniServices library.

The future of EJB

EJB, or Enterprise Beans, are Java classes with a number of container provided services attached to them, such as transactions, remoting and security. In this article we will take a look at what we can expect for EJB in the future.

Once upon a time EJB was almost synonymous with what was called Java EE or J2EE back then (Jakarta EE now). It suffered from many issues though, although it did incrementally got better. We’ll explore some of those issues next.
