Jakarta Enterprise Edition (EE) provides a full suite of specifications that allow developers to build secure and robust enterprise Java applications.
Formally known as Java EE, Jakarta EE has a rich history dating back to 1998. There are 42 specifications in the Jakarta EE ecosystem, however only 30 of these comprise the Jakarta EE Platform.
In this workshop, there will be a brief introduction to Jakarta EE and participants will build and deploy, step-by-step, their own enterprise Java application using Jakarta EE 11 and Payara Micro server. At each step in the process, participants will be introduced to a specification, such as Jakarta Contexts & Dependency Injection, Jakarta Security, Jakarta Data, Jakarta Persistence, Jakarta NoSQL and Jakarta Validation, to name a few.
Key Takeaways
1 Jakarta EE, formerly known as Java EE, is an open-source platform composed of 42 specifications for enterprise Java application development.
2 Each specification has at least one compatible implementation to ensure application portability, security, stability and resiliency. This is achieved by passing a rigorous series of tests known as the Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK).
3 Participants will develop, step-by-step, a secure and robust Java application using some of the Jakarta EE specifications.
4 Participants will generate a Web Application Archive (WAR) file and deploy it on an application server such as Payara Micro.
5 Payara Micro will be used in this workshop, but an application can be deployed to any Jakarta EE-compliant application server.
