Introducing the Java EE 6 Platform: Part 1

Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) is the industry-standard platform for building enterprise-class applications coded in the Java programming language. Based on the solid foundation of Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE), Java EE adds libraries and system services that support the scalability, accessibility, security, integrity, and other requirements of enterprise-class applications.

Since its initial release in 1999, Java EE has matured into a functionally rich, high performance platform. Recent releases of the platform have also stressed simplicity and ease of use. In fact, with the current release of the platform, Java EE 5, development of Java enterprise applications has never been easier or faster.

Java EE 6 adds significant new technologies and extends the usability improvements made in previous Java EE releases.

Progress continues. The next release of the platform, Java EE 6, adds significant new technologies, some of which have been inspired by the vibrant Java EE community. It also further simplifies the platform, extending the usability improvements made in previous Java EE releases.

This article highlights some of the significant enhancements in Java EE 6.

Dependency Injection in Java EE 6 - Part 1

Dependency Injection in Java EE 6 - Part 1

This series of articles introduces Contexts and Dependency Injection for Java EE (CDI), a key part of the soon to be finalized Java EE 6 platform. Standardized via JSR 299, CDI is the de-facto API for comprehensive next-generation type-safe dependency injection for Java EE. Led by Gavin King, JSR 299 aims to synthesize the best-of-breed dependency injection features from solutions like Seam, Guice and Spring while adding many useful innovations of its own.

In this first article of the series, we are going to take a high-level look at CDI, see how it fits with Java EE overall and discuss basic dependency management as well as scoping. In the course of this series, we will cover features like component naming, stereotypes, producers, disposers, decorators, interceptors, events, the CDI API for portable extensions and many more. We will also talk about how CDI aligns with Seam, Spring as well as Guice and augment the discussion with some implementation details using CanDI, C
