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.

  • 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
  • Explore integration with Jakarta Concurrency - Issue #950
  • Explore alignment with CDI lite and potentially built-time injection support - Issue #1137

Removals, deprecations or backwards incompatible changes

  • Drop support for @Context injection and related artifacts - Issue #951
  • Review integration with legacy Jakarta EE specifications (e.g. EJB) - Issue #954

Minimum Java SE Version

  • Likely Java SE 17 or higher
