8. Java EE 7 and 8 – Focus Areas
Cloud Modularity HTML5
• Provisioning • Building on Jigsaw • Emerging Web
Standards require a
• Elastic & Autonomic • Focus on OSGi interop programming model
Scalability
• Supporting Profiles & • JSON, WebSockets,
• Multi-Tenancy Modular Applications off-line, APIs & DOM
8 Copyright © 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

9. Java EE 7 Focus: Platform as a Service
• Next logical step for Java EE
– J2EE à Java EE 6 : The Java EE Platform provides services
– Java EE 7 : The Java EE Platform IS a service
• PaaS support entails evolutionary change
• Provide way for customers and users to leverage public,
private, and hybrid clouds
9 Copyright © 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

10. Java EE 7 PaaS Roadmap
• Define new platform roles to accommodate PaaS model
• Add metadata
– For service provisioning and configuration
– For QoS, elasticity
– For sharing of applications and resources
– For (re)configurability and customization
• Add useful APIs for cloud environment
– JAX-RS client API, Caching API, State Management, JSON,…
• Extend existing APIs with support for multi-tenancy
