With the release of Java EE 7 (https://blogs.oracle.com/jcp/entry/java_ee_7_jsr_update) around the corner, we are happy to welcome back Arun Gupta from Oracle, who offered to tell us about what's new and coming in this version of the enterprise Java platform! While Arun will go over a number of upcoming APIs (with code samples and demos) he promised a deeper dive into the new WebSocket API (JSR356).

The Java EE 7 platform has a changed scope and will now be focusing on Productivity and HTML5. JAX-RS 2 adds a new Client API to invoke the RESTful endpoints. JMS 2 is undergoing a complete overhaul to align with improvements in the Java language. Long awaited Batch Processing API and Caching API are also getting added to build applications using capabilities of the platform itself.Together these APIs will allow you to be more productive bysimplifying enterprise development.

WebSocket attempts to solve the issues and limitations of HTTP forreal-time communication. A new API is getting added to build WebSocket driven applications. Processing JSON structures is inherent in any HTML5 applications and a new API to parse, generate, transform, and query JSON is being added to the platform. JavaServer Faces will add support for HTML5 forms. There are several other improvements coming in this latest version of the platform.

The Java EE 7 platform is scheduled to release in Q2 2013. Some ofthe implementations are already integrated in GlassFish. This talk will provide a code-intensive introduction to the updated Java EE 7 platform. Several live demos will be shown during the talk. Don't miss out on this session to learn all about how to leverage the new and exciting standards in building your next enterprise application.
