Future of Java EE

The following is intended to outline our general product
 direction. It is intended for information purposes, and
  may not be incorporated into any contract. It is not a
     commitment to deliver any material, code, or
 functionality, and should not be relied upon in making
                    purchasing decisions.


 The development, release, and timing of any features
or functionality described for Oracle's products remains
            at the sole discretion of Oracle.

Java EE and… the Cloud?


• Containers are back in vogue!




                                  4
Java EE and… the Cloud?


•   We have containers...
•   We have services… injectable services…
•   We scale to large clusters…
•   We have a security model…




                                             5
Java EE for the Cloud


• Tighter requirements for resource and
  state management
• Better isolation between applications
• Potential standard APIs for NRDBMS,
  caching, other
• Common management and monitoring
  interfaces
• Evolution, not revolution


                                          6
Better Packaging for the Cloud


• Apps are versioned
• Multiple versions can coexist
• Must deal with data versioning,
  upgrades, etc.
• Need ability to specify QoS properties
• Apps both expose and connect to
  services

Java Persistence 2.1 Candidate Features
O/R Mapping and Modeling

• Converters / custom types
• “Fetch” plans / profiles
• Additional mapping metadata
• User-defined naming strategies
• More flexibility in use of generated values
• Immutable attributes; readonly entities
• More flexible XML descriptors




                                           3
Java Persistence 2.1 Candidate Features
API Enhancements

• Additional event listeners and callbacks

  synchronization
• Support for dynamic definition of persistence unit
• Extension of Metamodel API to ORM
• Methods for dirty detection
• Additional unwrap methods




                                           4
Java Persistence 2.1 Candidate Features
Enhancements to Query Functionality

                                       5
JPA 2.1 Rollout


• Targeted as part of Java EE 7 + standalone
• Plan to file JSR this year
 – Expert Group formation in January 2011
• Timelines for Java EE 7 may impact contents
  of JPA 2.1
 – Expert Group will need to prioritize
 – Community input a very important factor here

JAX-RS status

• JAX-RS 1.0: 18th October 2008
• JAX-RS 1.1: 23rd November 2009
 – Aligned with Java EE 6, but not in the Web profile!
• JAX-RS 2.0: Future<?>
 – Draft JSR 12th November 2010
 – Like to submit to JCP in December
 – http://bit.ly/bkXtay
• Implementations
 – Apache CXF, Apache Wink, eXo, Jersey, RESTEasy,
   Restlet, Triaxrs

                                                    1
                                                         34
The Future<?>

• JAX-RS 1.0 is 2 years old
• JAX-RS implementations have innovated in that
  2 year period... and other frameworks
 – Play, SiteBricks, Scalate, Spring, VRaptor
• JAX-RS 2.0 should take innovations that work
  well and standardize
 – Premature standardization is a root of evil

                                                     35
List<Future<?>>

• Client API
 – Low level builder pattern
 – High level response matching
• Model View Controller
 – Using JSPs and Scalate
• Asynchronous interactions
 – Using Atmosphere for HTTP streaming




                                         3
                                             36
List<Future<?>>

• Hypermedia
• Improved @Inject integration
• Parameter validation
 – Using Bean Validation API (JSR-303)
• Improve ease of use
 – DRY
 – Convention over configuration




                                         4
                                             37
Improved @Inject integration

• JAX-RS was specified before JSR 330 was
  started
• Use @Inject for all injection targets
 – Some progress made with CDI integration
• Enable injection targets for methods that JAX-
  RS runtime invokes
 – resource methods, sub-resource methods and sub-
   resource locators

Standard injection declarations

public class Foo {
  @Context UriInfo ui;

    @Context
    public setRequest(Request r) { … }

    public Foo(@QueryParam("x") int x) { … }
}

                                               39

  @Inject UriInfo ui;

    @Inject
    public setRequest(Request r) { … }

    @Inject
    public Foo(@QueryParam("x") int x) { … }

    @Inject SomeOtherDependency o;
}




                                          7
                                               40

    @Inject SomeOtherDependency o;
}




                                          8
                                              41
Supported now with CDI

@RequestScoped
public class Foo {
  @Inject UriInfo ui;

    @Inject
    public setRequest(Request r) { … }

    public Foo() {}
    @Inject
    public Foo(@QueryParam("x") int x) { … }

    Java EE and…the Cloud? • We have containers... • We have services… injectable services… • We scale to large clusters… • We have a security model… 5

    Java EE forthe Cloud • Tighter requirements for resource and state management • Better isolation between applications • Potential standard APIs for NRDBMS, caching, other • Common management and monitoring interfaces • Evolution, not revolution 6
  • 7.
    Better Packaging forthe Cloud • Apps are versioned • Multiple versions can coexist • Must deal with data versioning, upgrades, etc. • Need ability to specify QoS properties • Apps both expose and connect to services 7

    JSF 2.1: shortterm • Transient State Saving • UIData Transient state saving • XML view cleanup • Facelets Cache API • “XML free” in specification 23
  • 24.
    JSF 2.2 • HTML5 – semantic tags – support of browser feature detection – HTML5 for components – Audio and video – Standardize popular API (Trinidad’s page resolver, ADF ApplicationContectManager) – JSR-276, tools support – Enhancements to existing features • mobile renderkits • composite components 24
  • 25.
    JMS • Resolve ambiguitiesand uncertainties in the APIS – Remove complexities in the existing API – Incomplete and optional integration in Java EE env. • Standardize common vendor extensions/ features • Integration with other specs and non-Java languages • Expand JMS spec with new developments in messaging 25
  • 26.
    Web Tier • Web socket support • Standard JSON API • HTML5 support • NIO.2-based web container 26

  • 30.
    Java Persistence 2.1Candidate Features O/R Mapping and Modeling • Converters / custom types • “Fetch” plans / profiles • Additional mapping metadata • User-defined naming strategies • More flexibility in use of generated values • Immutable attributes; readonly entities • More flexible XML descriptors 3
  • 31.
    Java Persistence 2.1Candidate Features API Enhancements • Additional event listeners and callbacks • Improved control of persistence context synchronization • Support for dynamic definition of persistence unit • Extension of Metamodel API to ORM • Methods for dirty detection • Additional unwrap methods 4

    JAX-RS status • JAX-RS1.0: 18th October 2008 • JAX-RS 1.1: 23rd November 2009 – Aligned with Java EE 6, but not in the Web profile! • JAX-RS 2.0: Future<?> – Draft JSR 12th November 2010 – Like to submit to JCP in December – http://bit.ly/bkXtay • Implementations – Apache CXF, Apache Wink, eXo, Jersey, RESTEasy, Restlet, Triaxrs 1 34
  • 35.
    The Future<?> • JAX-RS1.0 is 2 years old • JAX-RS implementations have innovated in that 2 year period... and other frameworks – Play, SiteBricks, Scalate, Spring, VRaptor • JAX-RS 2.0 should take innovations that work well and standardize – Premature standardization is a root of evil 2 35
  • 36.
    List<Future<?>> • Client API – Low level builder pattern – High level response matching • Model View Controller – Using JSPs and Scalate • Asynchronous interactions – Using Atmosphere for HTTP streaming 3 36
  • 37.
    List<Future<?>> • Hypermedia • Improved@Inject integration • Parameter validation – Using Bean Validation API (JSR-303) • Improve ease of use – DRY – Convention over configuration 4 37
  • 38.
    Improved @Inject integration •JAX-RS was specified before JSR 330 was started • Use @Inject for all injection targets – Some progress made with CDI integration • Enable injection targets for methods that JAX- RS runtime invokes – resource methods, sub-resource methods and sub- resource locators 5 38
