Introduction

Java EE 8 brings a plenty of new features which are valuable to build modern applications.

I have spent some time on updating myself to the newest Java EE 8 technology stack. This mini book is my learning notes when I refreshed my knowledge to Java EE 8.

Audience

This book is not for the newbie of Java EE, and I also assume you know well about Java 8.

This book will not cover the existing content in Java EE 7. If you have experience with Java EE 7 and want to update to Java EE 8, this book is for you.

If you are new to Java EE or need a comprehensive guide of Java EE, I suggest you read the official Java EE Tutorial firstly.

The new Jakarta EE tutorial is moved to https://eclipse-ee4j.github.io/jakartaee-tutorial/toc.html.

About Jakarta EE 8

After Java EE 8 was released, Eclipse Foundation took over the responsibilities of developing Java EE, due to Java EE regulations, the new Java EE was renamed to Jakarta EE.

Jakarta EE 8 is the first version published by Eclipse Foundation, the APIs is totally compatible with the previous Java EE 8. To get started with Jakarta EE 8, go to Kickstart a Jakarta EE 8 application for more details.

In this book, we use Java EE and Java EE maven architypes through the whole book, all codes are compatible with Jakarta EE 8.

I also created a repository to collect all useful Java EE 8/Jakarta EE 8 resources, check the latest Awesome Java EE 8 checklist.

Sample Codes

All sample codes used in this book are open-sourced on Github.

You can clone it into your local system and import them into your IDE and explore yourself.
