The much-anticipated release of Java™ EE 8 is nearly upon us. This first release of the Java enterprise platform since June 2013 is half of a two-part release culminating with Java EE 9. Oracle has strategically repositioned Java EE, emphasizing technologies that support cloud computing, microservices, and reactive programming. Reactive programming is now woven into the fabric of many Java EE APIs, and the JSON interchange format underpins the core platform.
We’ll take a whistle-stop tour of the main features found in Java EE 8. Highlights include API updates and introductions, and new support for HTTP/2, reactive programming, and JSON. Get started with the Java EE specifications and upgrades that will surely shape enterprise Java programming for years to come.
