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 today's digital landscape, businesses and companies encounter a continuous stream of cybersecurity threats, and one such significant threat is Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs).

CVEs provide public data that companies and organizations can use to their advantage in understanding and addressing potential vulnerabilities. To illustrate the concept further, let's explore examples of high, medium, and low-severity CVEs in Apache Active MQ, a popular open-source messaging and integration…

It has, at its foundation, always been about adding Jakarta EE Web Profile (formerly Java EE) technologies to a complete Apache Tomcat distribution. The use of Tomcat in conjunction with TomEE is explained in more detail in this blog post. A visual guide to TomEE…

Twenty Years and Counting Twenty years ago this month, David Blevins and I started OpenEJB, the open source project which was the foundation of Apache TomEE. It was an exciting time for David and me as neither of us had a lot of experience in open source. I left the project in 2004, but David stuck with it, and for that I'm grateful. OpenEJB became a central part of TomEE several years ago, and it's through TomEE that we continue to support open-source Jakarta EE. Why TomEE for the Holidays? We want everyone to experience the kind of joy and…
