Model part should leverage CDI and Bean Validation
View part should leverage existing view technologies like JSPs and Facelets
Controller could be either JAX-RS based, invent a new technology, or defined a technology-independent way of definining
Out of scope to define a new templating language, existing language should be evaluated, possibly define an SPI for additional ones to be integrated
JAX-RS 2.1 (Aug 19, 2014)
Adding support for Server-Sent Events
Improving integration with CDI
Exploring support for non-blocking I/O in providers (filters, interceptors, etc)
Evaluating ways in which declarative security can be supported either directly in this JSR or by leveraging other EE-platform JSRs
Making JAXB conditional on runtimes where it is available
Providing integration with JSON-B
Building upon the hypermedia API added in version 2.0
Investigate the reactive programming paradigm as a way to improve the JAX-RS asynchronous client API
Evaluating any requirements necessary to support the use of JAX-RS resource classes as as controllers in the MVC 1.0 JSR
Servlet 4.0 (Jul 22, 2014) @servlet_spec
Expose support for the upcoming IETF standard HTTP/2 to users of the Servlet API
Request/response multiplexing
Stream prioritization
Server push
Upgrade from HTTP 1.1
Refresh the Servlet API with to achieve compliance with new features in
HTTP 1.1
Responding to community input
JSF 2.3 (Jul 21, 2014) @jsf_spec
Ajax method invocation: Allows invoking CDI managed bean methods directly from Ajax, all owing the response to be sent using standard JSON
Community input: multi-field validation, @Inject FacesContext, EL
performance optimizations, and cross-form Ajax clarifications
Better integration with Java EE 8 and Java SE 8
JSON Binding (Jul 14, 2014)
Standard way to convert JSON into Java objects and vice versa.
JSON-B will leverage JSON-P and provide a conversion layer above it.
A default mapping algorithm will be defined for converting existing Java classes to JSON. The default mappings can be customized through the use of Java annotations and will be leveraged by the JSON-B runtime to convert Java objects to/from JSON.
Requirements from upper layers of JAX-RS
JSON-B will have a similar feel to JAXB
JMS 2.1 - Draft 1 (Jul 7, 2014) @jms_spec
Simplifying and extending the API required to receive messages asynchronously
Portability of JMS providers within Java EE servers will be improved
Clarify “application server facilities” in chapter 11 of JMS 2.0
Clarify JCA resource adapater relationship
Improvements in JMS provider in Java EE transaction
Corrections and minor enhancements
CDI 2.0 (Jul 1, 2014) @cdispec
Split CDI into two parts: Core CDI programming model and Java EE integrations for CDI
Define a portable bootstrap API for CDI
Overhal thread-bound request-response context model, allow the application or container to portably push the active context to CDI when it requires the use of CDI
Introduce modularity to CDI, CDI 2.0 Modularity Proposal
Define a lightweight container
Java EE 8 Platform (May 20, 2014)
Latest web standards: Server-Sent Events, JSON Binding, HTTP 2.0, improvements to WebSocket and JSON-P, MVC
Ease-of-use: Declarative security using CDI, notification of timed events using CDI event and observer mechanism
Infrastructure for cloud support: Configuration of multiple tenants, simplified and improved security configuration; and REST-based APIs for monitoring and management
Alignment with Java SE 8: Repeating annotations, lambda expressions, Date/Time API, Type annotations, Completable features, etc.
