EJB support in Piranha via CDI

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.

OmniFish supports Jakarta EE 10

OmniFish announces enterprise support for Eclipse GlassFish, Jakarta EE 10, and a new cloud-native Jakarta EE runtime

Estonia, September 22, 2022

OmniFish are proud to announce they’ve established themselves as a new international company in the field of Jakarta EE support, specifically supporting the application server Eclipse GlassFish, a new cloud‑native Jakarta EE runtime Piranha Cloud, and their associated components such as Mojarra, the Jakarta Faces implementation. 

OmniFish, based in Estonia, EU, welcomes the new Jakarta EE 10 version. They are going to support Jakarta EE 10 applications on Eclipse GlassFish 7, which will be released later in October 2022. Moreover, OmniFish have recently joined the Jakarta EE Working Group and they are strongly committed to contributing to the Jakarta EE standards. Some of the OmniFish founders are well-known Jakarta EE experts, which provides strong guarantees that OmniFish will become one of the key players in evolving and modernizing the Jakarta EE platform.

Yes, Jakarta EE 10 is just behind the door, with a rich set of new useful features. GlassFish 7 is also very close to its final release, coming with Jakarta EE 10 support. And it’s now actively maintained and commercially supported by OmniFish. Therefore you can start using Jakarta EE 10 very soon on a reliable and production‑ready server backed by a commercial company. But first, what’s coming to Jakarta EE 10?

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.
