Jakarta EE, formerly known as Java EE (J2EE), and Spring Boot are the two de facto standards when it comes to enterprise Java applications, and the competition between these two alternatives to secure more market share has been going on for a while. Currently, many enterprise applications rely on Jakarta EE. However, most junior developers are familiar solely with Spring Boot. If you are a Spring Boot developer that needs to use or migrate to the Jakarta EE framework, we have created a guide to help you bridge your existing Spring Boot expertise with core Jakarta EE concepts.

The Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability detected in the Spring Java Framework in March 2022 (tagged as CVE-2022-22965) is unlikely to impact those using Payara Platform.

Recently I attended as a speaker at my second jDays, a great conference in a great venue in Gothenburg. jDays is a fantastic conference as it is small enough to easily meet people and network and discuss tech, while at the same time big enough to run multiple tracks so there is always a session on that you’ll be interested in. 

Luckily for those who couldn't attend JavaOne 2015  in San Francisco last October, you can now watch most of the conference presentations on-line. Here's our selection of the JavaOne 2015 talks using Payara Server and Payara Micro.

We have already introduced Spring Boot to Payara Micro, the new fish on the block!, by implementing Spring Boot based RESTful web services and hosted on Payara Micro. While implementing it, we didn’t deal with any of the XML configurations or dependency management needed for the Spring framework with the help of  the Spring Boot
