Jakarta RESTful Web Services 4.0 (under development)

Jakarta RESTful Web Services provides a foundational API to develop web services following the Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural pattern.

The goal of this release is to provide better alignment between Jakarta RESTful Web Services and Jakarta Contexts Dependency Injection (CDI). This will be the first backward incompatible release of Jakarta REST.

  • Drop support for @Context injection and related artifacts - Issue #951
  • Define CDI scopes for all Jakarta REST types - Issue #952
  • Define CDI integration and startup for Java SE applications - Issue #953
  • Enhance discovery of application artifacts using CDI scanning - Issue #953
  • Review integration with legacy Jakarta EE specifications (e.g., EJB) - Issue #954
  • Explore integration with Jakarta Concurrency - Issue #950
  • Features inherited from Jakarta REST 3.1 (to be released before Jakarta EE 10):

The JDK version required will be aligned with Jakarta EE 10. The latest details and progress for this work may be found on the Project Site as well as the Github Wiki.
