Java EE 8 has been finalized a few months ago. In addition, Oracle has announced last summer its intention to open Java EE by moving the complete platform to an open source foundation. A bold move that is welcomed by the community and supported by companies such as as Red Hat, IBM and Tomitribe. So it’s clearly an exiting time for Java Enterprise Development!
This session will first cover in details the new enhancements of Java EE 8 like the new reactive JAX-RS Client API, Servlet 4’s HTTP/2 support, Bean Validation 2, CDI 2 Asynchronous capabilities, new APIs such as the Security API and the JSON-B API, etc.
We will then conclude the session by looking at how the platform will move forward in the context of an open source foundation.
