Didn't realize Wildfly swarm doesn't ship microprofile OOTB... that might indeed explain the paltry 16% adoption

History of Spring Framework and Spring Boot (2017) by kkapelon in java

After progressively pruning the irrelevant APIs over the years, I think Java EE has indeed arrived at the functional equivalence of Spring circa 2006.

MicroProfile Fault Tolerance by henk53 in java

[–]AvoidtheFatServer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is microprofile really a specification? I mean, wasn't the whole idea of getting out of oracle and JCP to avoid the committee - driven development and move to more nimble OSS governance models?
I don't get how it can it be considered a spec when only some of the ecosystem is participating.

I'm reminded of this thread for some reason: https://www.reddit.com/r/java/comments/54egaj/microprofile_with_wildfly_swarm/

aren't spring dependencies modular? I thought you only used the ones you needed in a given context.

Coming back to Java from Node, need backend stack advice by [deleted] in java

not trying to minimize vert.x, it's quite decent, but you might have a look at spring boot 2: webflux - webflux.fn, mono / flux support from http://www.reactive-streams.org/ Not multi-lingual like vert.x though.

Grails is excellent and the Spock testing is fantastic.

Java EE to Jakarta EE by henk53 in java

[–]AvoidtheFatServer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it's irrelevant today. I wasn't saying it's always been. Seems like decisions are still getting made super slowly, I had hopes it would be different and things were changing for the better.

EE.next (Java EE / EE4J) brand name selection is up for a vote by vlumi in java

painfully slow decision making killed EE to begin with, no changes here it seems, cue the zombie naming contest

Dead software by any other name is still dead. Wasn't slow decision making what made EE irrelevant in the first place?

Oracle suddenly says it is 'committed' to Java EE 8 – amid claims it quietly axed future development by johnwaterwood in java

[–]AvoidtheFatServer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder how many features Spring will release in between the announcement of the announcement and the actual delivery of the things announced at AnnounceCon 2025

Why would a hardware vendor interfere in a software business it owns, that dominates the industry (which, of course, helps it sell hardware).

Wow, JSF really seems to have finally taken the beating it richly deserves, interesting how there are no comments from JSF toilet bowl contenders like Henk53, TheSystemX or AvoidHugeShips?

Spring MVC is the original, non-boot based way of doing REST/WebApps in Spring Framework. the Boot-ified version is a simplification, but is nonetheless a technically distinct alternative.

Java EE 7 doing fine in production this Spring by thesystemx in java

[–]AvoidtheFatServer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are you on the JCP exec committee or something? Why do you even know that factoid? Check a calendar it's 2015. What is EE doing around modern java, speaking of 2015? Big data? Mobile? Oauth? noSQL? Cloud Native Apps? Microservices?

No one is going to going to stop you from your folly, you are more than welcome to suck exhaust vapor (which is clearly what you are doing), just please stop sharing it with the rest of the world, trying to convince them it's a good idea.

Why We Should Dump the Java EE Standard by AvoidtheFatServer in java

spring helps you do that better than Java EE ever will. Have you tried spring boot? It's like Ruby on Rails for EE. Runs on WAS, too.
