What Every Spring Developer Should Know About Jakarta EE

Ivar Grimstad - Eclipse Foundation

Even if Java was originally meant for clients, it soon turned out that it was a great fit for the server side as well. J2EE came along and conquered this segment. Enterprise Java still powers the world with Spring as the dominant player.

So, what about Jakarta EE then? Most of the industry were affected in some way or the other by the namespace change from javax.* to jakarta.* in Jakarta EE 9, so there clearly are a lot of dependencies on the various Jakarta EE specifications.

Spring is no exception. The framework builds on a surprisingly large set of Jakarta EE APIs and implementations. This means that it is a great advantage for a Spring developer to be aware of what is going on with the development of Jakarta EE.

Come to this session to learn about the planned changes to the technologies that Spring depends on. There will be demos, and even some AI involved.
