I suppose it depends on whether you want to certify on both Jakarta EE 9 and 8 given the breaking change. I don’t imagine the question arose in the past due to backwards compatibility.

If you are using the Transformer, why do you need both? I thought that the Transformer allowed your implementation to use one, or the other API. The Transformer would be responsible for converting the user code to whatever the implementation is based on.

If that were the case, the implementation only needs to be compatible with a single Jakarta EE version.

How is this flawed?

I would venture to say that this is an implementation detail...  Maybe you ship both sets of APIs, but use the one that is required depending on the context of the environment?

I have, what may be a dumb question. If an implementation wanted...

I have, what may be a dumb question. If an implementation wanted to support both Jakarta EE 8 and Jakarta EE 9 using the same binary and making use of the Eclipse Transformer how would signature tests be handled given that it wouldn’t ship the apis  for one of the Jakarta EE versions?

 

Thanks
