Jakarta Enterprise Edition (EE) provides a full suite of specifications that allow developers to build secure and robust enterprise Java applications.

Formally known as Java EE, Jakarta EE has a rich history dating back to 1998. There are 42 specifications in the Jakarta EE ecosystem, however only 30 of these comprise the Jakarta EE Platform.

In this workshop, there will be a brief introduction to Jakarta EE and participants will build and deploy, step-by-step, their own enterprise Java application using Jakarta EE 11 and Payara Micro server. At each step in the process, participants will be introduced to a specification, such as Jakarta Contexts & Dependency Injection, Jakarta Security, Jakarta Data, Jakarta Persistence, Jakarta NoSQL and Jakarta Validation, to name a few.
