Jakarta 10

  • Lots of projects released
  • CDI Lite is new spec but subset of CDI so not completely new
  • Core profile – targets restricted environments
  • Java 11 source/binaries

Q&A

  • Emphasis on opinions, community needs to weigh in
  • Looking forward to Loom
  • Release cadence need to be adopted by community. Cadence of spec itself being too fast risks not having proper adoption.
  • Need enough contributions to have a release
  • At one point had goal of yearly release cadence
  • Hard for customers to update that often
  • Room survey was 50/50% on one vs two year release cycle for Jakarta EE
  • Could release pieces independently. Could be confusing
  • A lot of companies align with Java SE LTS cycle
  • Vendors can certify against LTS versions
  • log4j has caused more patching
  • Companies will keep skipping versions
  • Room survey: people using a variety of EE versions
  • Demand vs capacity to deliver
  • Emily working on a one pager on how to contribute. Already have English doc https://jakartaee-ambassadors.io/guide-to-contributing-to-jakarta-ee-10/
  • https://github.com/jakartaee
  • “If there’s something you want, create a feature, now you are a contributor”
  • need to be able to explain why to contribute

My take

I like that there was a lot of time for audience comments and sharing opinions for the audience and panel. The brief prepared remarks set the stage well for that.

[2022 javaone] hands on lab project loom

Facilitated by Oracle (Nicolai/Jose)

Overview

  • The lab uses Oracle’s cloud environment. Setup was clear and well documented.
  • It’s a throwaway env only good for a few hours so you don’t have to worry about cleanup.
  • Can also do locally if prefer

Links

  • Workshop: https://bit.ly/ocw22-hol3733
  • https://github.com/JosePaumard/2022_javaone-loom-livelab.git

Virtual Threads

  • A virtual thread runs on a “real” platform thread called a carrier thread
  • Can be mounted/dismounted from carrier thread when blocks
  • It’s cool seeing a platform thread run so many virtual threads

Structured Concurrency

  • I just skimmed this part (had ice cream and got distracted talking to people so didn’t do the code for this half.) Conveniently, it is in github and I can do it in the future. Probably when it makes it out of incubator so I don’t forget everything.

My take

It took almost half an hour to get started. The online editor doesn’t work in Mac Safari so did the setup twice. I could have used Java 19 locally, but wanted to see what the lab environment looked like. I had enough time though so it was ok.’

I got to use single file source code execution (the lab didn’t say to, but less typing.) Must tease someone about its usefulness. And I got to to try out Loom.

Notes

  • In cloud, have both microservices and traditional web apps

Microservice

  • Container (ex: docker) including UNIX kernel
  • Executable Jar or Native Image (ex: Graal)
  • Example microservice framework – Http Server, Http Java Integration, REST processing, JSON serialization, JSON parsing, validation, security, database integration, dependency injection, messaging, mail, health checks, tracing, fault tolerance, metrics, config, OpenAPI docs, GraphQL
  • Microservice frameworks – Spring boot, quarkus, micronaut, open liberty

Spring Boot

  • Http Server – Jetty, Tomcat or Underflow
  • Http Java Integration – Jakarta Servlet
  • REST processing – Jakarta RESTful Web Services or Spring MVC
  • JSON serialization – Gson, Jackson or JSON Binding
  • JSON parsing – Gson, Jackson or JSON Parsing
  • validation – Jakarta Bean validation
  • security – Spring security
  • database integration – JPA and others
  • dependency injection – Spring framework
  • messaging – Jakarta messaging, kafka and others
  • mail – spring java mail sender or jarkarta mail
  • health checks – spring boot actuator
  • tracing – spring cloud sleuth
  • fault tolerance – spring cloud circuit breaker and spring cloud netflix
  • metrics – micrometer
  • config – spring boot config
  • OpenAPI docs – Spring REST data
  • GraphQL – Spring for GraphQL

Others

Did same for Quarkus, Payara Micro, Jarkarta EE. Didn’t transcribe deck

A lot of delegating to Jakarta and MicroProfile projects

MicroProfile

  • Started in 2016

Jakarta projects

  • Jakarta Interceptors – standard way of writing interceptors
  • Platform – Jakarta enterprise beans, authorization, batch, connectors, mail, activation, messaging, web profile, core profile
  • Optional (not fully supported) – Jakarta enterprise web services, xml binding, SOAP with attachments, XML web services
  • Web profile – servlet, bean validator, persistence, authentication, web socket, CDI, mail, security, transactions, expression language, managed beans, concurrency, faces, standard tag libraries, server pages, enterprise beans light
  • Core profile – interceptor, dependency injection, annotations
  • Required for MicroProfile – Jakarta RESTful web services, JSON processing, JSON binding, CDI light
  • CDI surpassing EJB
  • New: Jakarta RPC, NoSQL, data
  • Removed: Jakarta Management

Java EE Server

  • War
  • Jakarta Servlet, RESTful web services, JSON binding/parsing, bean validation, security, persistence, CDI, messaging, mail

My take

Wow. A lot has changed since I last worked on a web app. Learned a lot here although the talk was longer than my attention span; especially later in the day. It was a bit of an info dump but good for getting the lay of the land. And I need to do a lot of reading!
