This blog aims at giving some pointers in order to address the challenge related to the switch from `javax` to `jakarta` namespace. This is one of the biggest changes in Java of the latest 20 years. No doubt. The entire ecosystem is impacted. Not only Java EE or Jakarta EE Application servers, but also libraries of any kind (Jackson, CXF, Hibernate, Spring to name a few). For instance, it took Apache TomEE about a year to convert all the source code and dependencies to the new `jakarta` namespace. This blog is written from the user perspective, because the shift from…

In the previous post, we saw how to use the built-in ‘tomcat-users.xml’ identity store with Apache TomEE. While this identity store is inherited from Tomcat and integrated into Jakarta Security implementation in TomEE, this is usually good for development or simple deployments, but may appear too simple or restrictive for production environments. This blog will focus on how to implement your own identity store. TomEE can use LDAP or JDBC identity stores out of the box. We will try them out next time. Let’s say you have your own file store or your own data store like an in-memory data…

While working on Jakarta EE 10 certification (See announcement Apache Tomee Jakarta EE certified after 10 years, Apache TomEE implemented Jakarta Security specification. Currently, there is only one implementation used in Glassfish and used by all the other vendors for Jakarta Security. In TomEE, we decided to create an alternative to bring some diversity, and have an Apache implementation. What is Jakarta Security? Jakarta Security defines a standard for creating secure Jakarta EE applications in modern application paradigms. It defines an overarching (end-user targeted) Security API for Jakarta EE Applications. Jakarta Security builds on the lower level Security SPIs defined…

There are many blogs explaining how to get Jakarta Security on Tomcat using all sorts of libraries and wiring everything manually. So many opportunities to get it wrong, if you are evaluating or currently using Apache TomEE. In TomEE, the good news is that, like JAX-RS, CDI or Bean Validation, Jakarta Security is out of the box ready to be used like Servlet, and CDI for example. This blog is a high-level view so you have the big picture of the technologies and how they interact with each other in the security landscape. The goal is to be able to…

We are extremely excited to spread the word that Apache TomEE 9.0.0-M7 has reached Jakarta EE 9.1 Web Profile certification. Speaking with our Apache-contributor hats on, this is not just our first certification in 10 years, but we are doubly proud Apache TomEE is on the list of certified servers on the day of the Jakarta EE release. Moreover, after 3 years of behind-the-scenes work, we're very excited the Apache Software Foundation has joined Jakarta EE Working Group as a Guest Member. And finally, not to be overlooked, the Apache TomEE project has a fresh new website: - https://tomee.apache.org/ As…

I’d like to share with everyone a system we’ve set up to help projects get faster TCK results, starting of course with Apache TomEE. https://tck.work/tomee/projects We’ve had this system for a while, but were unable to open access due to the legal restrictions around access to the TCK and results. Now that all of this is public we can finally make it available. This installation is dedicated to open source projects and per each TCK run will spin up 100 m3.medium spot instances in AWS to chew through 95% of the TCK in about 2 hours. A handful of tests…
