How to Build a RESTful Web Service Using Jakarta EE

webdev@eclipse-foundation.org (Eclipse Foundation) — Fri, 22 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +0000

This guide shows you how to use Jakarta EE to make a RESTful web service.

To create a RESTful web service using Jakarta EE, we will begin by summarizing what we want to build.

We will build a service that will accept an HTTP GET¹ request at http://localhost:8080/restfulservice/hello.

It will respond with the following JSON payload, as the following listing shows:

{"text": "Hello from Jakarta EE"}

We can then further customize and improve it according to our needs.

Jakarta NoSQL and Jakarta Persistence Explained

webdev@eclipse-foundation.org (Eclipse Foundation) — Tue, 29 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Abstract

The Jakarta EE ecosystem offers specifications for building database backend applications using relational and/or NoSQL databases. The Jakarta Persistence specification, with a rich history dating back almost 20 years, has been a staple in the Java community for writing relational database applications. The Jakarta NoSQL specification, with a short history dating back to 2020, provides comprehensive support for all four types of NoSQL databases.

Introduction

webdev@eclipse-foundation.org (Eclipse Foundation) — Wed, 26 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

We’re thrilled to announce the final release of Jakarta NoSQL 1.0, a brand-new specification designed to bring standardization, productivity, and portability to NoSQL integration in the Java ecosystem.

This release marks a significant step in the Jakarta EE platform by introducing the first-ever NoSQL specification. Whether you’re working with document, key-value, column, or graph databases, Jakarta NoSQL is built to streamline your development experience.

Why Jakarta NoSQL?

Jakarta NoSQL was created to make it easier and more productive for developers to work with NoSQL databases while staying fully within the Jakarta EE programming model. It brings:

Key Takeaways from the Cloud Native Java Survey

webdev@eclipse-foundation.org (Shabnam Mayel) — Thu, 27 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The Jakarta EE Working Group conducted the first-ever Cloud Native Java Survey between July 11, 2024 and August 23, 2024 to gather insights on popular Java SE versions, Jakarta EE, and MicroProfile usage. The results from over 170 respondents left us with a number of important takeaways about the adoption of enterprise Java technologies, developer priorities, and more. Here are the key findings.

Java EE/Jakarta EE Adoption

Jakarta EE 8 & Java EE 8 remain the most widely used versions.
Jakarta EE 10 adoption is growing as developers skip EE 9/9.1, which were transitional.
A notable portion still relies on legacy Java EE versions (e.g., EE 6, released 15 years ago).

MicroProfile Adoption

A majority do not use MicroProfile.
Those who do mostly run newer versions (MicroProfile 6 aligns with Jakarta EE 10).
Some developers remain on older MicroProfile releases, indicating slow migration.

Java SE Versions

Java SE 17 is the most used version.
Almost half of developers are already on Java SE 21.
Java SE 8 and 11 still have significant usage, despite being outdated.

Popular Java Runtimes

Spring Boot, Tomcat, Quarkus, and WildFly dominate the landscape.
GlassFish, JBoss EAP, Payara, and Open Liberty also have strong adoption.
Jetty, TomEE, and WebSphere hold niche market shares.
Helidon and some Asian runtimes have limited traction (~5% adoption).

Popular Jakarta EE APIs

Jakarta REST (JAX-RS), CDI, and JPA are the most widely used.
JSON, Servlet, and EJB also see strong adoption.
JSF, JSP, and JMS usage is declining as JavaScript frameworks and alternative messaging solutions gain traction.

MicroProfile APIs

Config, OpenAPI, and REST Client lead usage.
Health, Metrics, and JWT are commonly used for cloud native applications.
GraphQL, OpenTracing, and Reactive Messaging see limited adoption.

Developer Priorities for Jakarta EE & MicroProfile

Adapting to Java SE innovations (e.g., Virtual Threads, Project CRaC, Project Leyden).
Enhanced Kubernetes support (e.g., integration with Kubernetes Secrets).
Deprecating legacy features like EJB, favoring CDI-based alternatives.
New features, including:
- Jakarta Messaging Lite for modern cloud use cases.
- CDI-based replacements for EJB Message-Driven Beans, @Schedule, and @RolesAllowed.
- A standard API for server management.

Other Key Insights

The majority still use the Jakarta EE platform.
Most developers combine Jakarta EE and MicroProfile, though some use Jakarta EE alone.
JSON over HTTP (REST) dominates API usage; XML and SOAP are declining, while OpenAPI is widely used.

The Jakarta EE Working Group thanks all participants and will use these insights to guide future improvements.

Jakarta Concurrency Explained

webdev@eclipse-foundation.org (Eclipse Foundation) — Tue, 12 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Application performance can make or break a user’s experience. Applications that provide a consistent experience and perform well are more likely to benefit user productivity. The Jakarta Concurrency specification targets application performance and usability by providing a standard API for developing concurrent application processes without compromising container integrity. It is not recommended to utilize traditional Java SE threads or timers within a Jakarta EE container because use of threads or timers may cause reliability issues and unexpected results. Jakarta Concurrency provides an API that does not intrude on container integrity, but rather, uses services that are managed by the container and matches the functionality provided by the Java SE Concurrency Utilities.

Jakarta Contexts Dependency Injection Explained

webdev@eclipse-foundation.org (Eclipse Foundation) — Tue, 12 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Jakarta Dependency Injection provides the ability to make use of contextual objects in an application with maximum reusability, testability, and maintainability. This specification provides a means for developers to easily obtain objects throughout classes within an application without the requirement to use constructors, factories, or service locators.

Jakarta Contexts and Dependency Injection, Jakarta CDI for short, is one of the paramount specifications of the Jakarta EE Platform, as it contains a number of powerful complimentary services that are utilized across a majority of Jakarta EE applications. Jakarta CDI has been known as the “glue” for the Jakarta EE Platform because one of the most significant features is the enablement of contextual objects to be made available for use throughout other classes and views within an application. The specification makes use of the Jakarta Dependency Injection specification to provide this capability, but Jakarta CDI also provides a number of other features beyond dependency injection including scope assignment, generation of preconfigured objects, qualification, initiating code when events occur, to mention a few.

Jakarta EE Platform

webdev@eclipse-foundation.org (Eclipse Foundation) — Tue, 12 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The Jakarta EE Platform enables developers to produce lightweight, cloud native applications while providing maximum developer productivity. Now featuring multiple profiles geared towards producing microservices or full stack applications, the Platform provides flexibility for developing applications of all sizes. The Platform is composed of a number of specifications, each targeting specific areas in application architecture. This modular approach allows the specifications to evolve under different expert groups and timelines, while the platform enables each to work together in harmony.

Jakarta Persistence Explained

webdev@eclipse-foundation.org (Eclipse Foundation) — Tue, 12 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Enterprise applications typically require persistence for data storage. The specification is foundational for many technologies since relational databases are widely used within the industry. The Jakarta Persistence specification, also known as Jakarta Persistence API (JPA), encompasses a number of APIs that facilitate the creation, reading, updating, and deletion of data within data stores. The specification provides an Entity Manager API which is used to facilitate the lifecycle of entities within an application. The Query and TypedQuery APIs are used to retrieve data utilizing both static and dynamic queries. The Metamodel API enables the ability to obtain metadata regarding managed entities and persistence objects. Lastly, the Criteria API provides a means for defining queries through the use of object based query objects to perform strongly-typed queries.

Jakarta RESTful Web Services Explained

webdev@eclipse-foundation.org (Eclipse Foundation) — Tue, 12 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Jakarta REST is the solution for development of building Representational State Transfer web services on the Jakarta EE Platform. The specification is easy to learn, and it enables one to construct powerful REST APIs and it also includes APIs for working with web services as a client. As such, this specification is key to the development of microservices and cloud based applications, and it is part of the Jakarta EE Web Profile as well as the full platform.

Jakarta Security, Jakarta Authorization, and Jakarta Authentication Explained

webdev@eclipse-foundation.org (Eclipse Foundation) — Tue, 12 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Security is a major component of application development. Jakarta EE provides the robust Jakarta Security specification that when paired with the Jakarta Authentication and Jakarta Authorization specifications, provides APIs that deliver end-to-end security. There are a large number of application processes that require security measures, and these specifications provide the ability to do so in a straightforward manner using annotations and minimal XML configurations. Jakarta EE compliant containers and deployment environments adhere to the constructs of the Authentication and Authorization policies to ensure that applications can be secured in a standard way and deployed across a number of different environments.

Jakarta Servlet, Jakarta Faces and Jakarta Server Pages Explained

webdev@eclipse-foundation.org (Eclipse Foundation) — Thu, 22 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The Jakarta EE Platform offers a number of APIs that can be used to create web based user interfaces. The most mature and perhaps most well known is the Jakarta Servlet specification. Jakarta Servlet was first released in 1996, and it enables Java developers to create web pages containing dynamic web content using pure Java. The specification has changed much over the years and it is able to interact with modern technologies and comply with the modern era of web technologies with features such as HTTP/2. Jakarta Server Pages (JSP) was first released in 1999, and it enables developers to create web based user interfaces using a mixture of HTML markup and special Jakarta Servlet tags. JSP enables easy creation of dynamic web views, and it has also made great progressions over the years to position it for standard model-view-controller development. Model-View-Controller development specifies clear separation of view code from business logic, and in the early years of JSP it was common to see business logic intermixed with HTML code. To that end, Jakarta Faces was initially released in 2004, and it provides the ability to develop web based user interfaces with XML for the view and a corresponding Java class to contain the business logic for the view. This specification has adapted over the years to continue as a relevant web based user interface API for modern times.

Proper use of the Jakarta® Brand by Eclipse Projects

webdev@eclipse-foundation.org (Eclipse Foundation) — Tue, 03 Mar 2020 13:10:00 -0400

A critical aspect of managing a brand is avoiding confusion as to what the brand represents, what expectations should we expect to be met when something is labeled with that brand. It is important to clearly delineate what we mean when we label something “Jakarta”, that is, when we use “Jakarta” as a modifier/adjective to an object/noun (e.g., “Jakarta® Faces Specification”), and managing how it is used in the project space is part of this. Careful use of the name will help the community better understand what is directly represented by the Jakarta brand and what is not.

Adopt a Spec

webdev@eclipse-foundation.org (Eclipse Foundation) — Sat, 01 Feb 2020 16:09:45 -0400
