Very Interesting question . I was a java enthusiast developer and Java EE Architect . Notice the past time !!!
Now with new ,incoming ,technologies I am asking my self the same question , how an Enterprise/Web application can be translated in a cloud/micro services context ? I am trying to porting one of my app and statred to study possibilities .
The major possibilities are JDK based like Jakarta Microprofile,Helidon
Other possibilities are simply based on Java language with a vendor-specific dependency ( Quarkus )
In all cases , I understood ( ? ) it is impossible to translate a Jakarta EE app to new technologies , I think about "old classic" Business Tier (stateless, statefull, transaction and so on ) --> please prove me I am wrong !
But the main question is : what is the useful of a Jakarta EE platform , I mean a EE application , if today all efforts , it seams, is focused toward
cloud/micro services. What would be /will be the role of EE application in the next tech scenario ?
thanks
