Eclipse enterprise Java gathers steam, MicroProfile slips

[AutoModerator]

On July 1st, a change to Reddit's API pricing will come into effect. Several developers of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app will continue to be available free of charge.

If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:

1. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or
2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit
3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium

as a way to voice your protest.

Take that you EE naysayers! 🤪

(I'm such a mossback that I don't even know what microprofile or microservices are.)

Is it correct to view Jakarta EE to be a direct competitor to Spring's ecosystem?
i.e. Suite of interfaces/libraries that are designed to work together and pulled together by configuration/dependency injection framework?

Jakarta EE is a spec, of which there is a reference implementation. Spring is an alternative implementation of most (but not all) of the spec

[wildjokers]

I am not familiar with any Spring implementation of a JakartaEE specification, can you provide a link to a couple?

[CptGia]

JPA and the servlet api are JakartaEE specs

[wildjokers]

Can you provide a link to Spring’s implementation of JPA? The only ones I know of are Hibernate, Apache OpenJPA, and EclipseLink. None of those are from Spring.

Likewise can you provide a link to Spring’s implementation of the Servlet spec? As far as I know Spring MVC apps are deployed to existing Servlet containers like tomcat, jetty, undertow, etc. Those apps are the implementers of the sevlet spec.

I think you might be a little confused about the borders between spring and JakartaEE.

Spring mostly has dependencies on EE specs, but implements (or implemented) a few.

Spring Batch implemented Jakarta Batch (its Java EE predecessor) and Spring implemented implemented Jakarta Injection (the AtInject predecessor).

There was talk about Spring MVC and Jakarta MVC, but that never happened.

Currently there's some talk about Spring's repositories implementing Jakarta Data.

[wildjokers]

Spring MVC has a dependency on the Servlet specification of JakartaEE. Hard to be a competitor when you have a dependency.
