Java 21 Release - Launch Event

All right! Java 21 is scheduled for General Availability¹ on 2023/09/19! That's today!

Apparently there's an appropriate launch event^{2 3} as well!

And it's a Long Term Supported release (LTS), so that's good.

Hoping to see support for it everywhere.

Java EE 7 Launch

I have been unable to write about the Webcasts I have followed on the 12th of June regarding the release of Java EE 7. (See Java EE 7 Launch Webcast: Jun 12th)

So here's my attempt.

I'm going to put some points down as a reminder for me on what are the main points of JEE 7 indicated in the Webcast.

• HTML 5
• WebSockets
• Servlet 3.1 NIO
• JSF 2.2
• JSON
• Streaming API - searching and retrieving data from large JSON documents
• Object Model API - creation and updating of JSON documents
• REST
• Developer Productivity
• More Annotated POJOs
• Less boilerplate code
• Cohesive integrated platform
• Meeting Enterprise Demands
• Batch Processing
• Item oriented : chunk (normally used)
• Task oriented : batchlet
• Concurrency
• JMS
