Oracle Corporation has unveiled the availability of a new Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 7 (Java EE 7) and the Java EE 7 Software Development Kit (SDK) to support HTML 5 and further increase developer productivity.
The new Java EE 7 features a scalable infrastructure that facilitates building HTML5 applications by reducing response times through low-latency, bi-directional communication with WebSockets. It simplifies data parsing and exchange and at the same time it can support many more users concurrently.
Java EE 7 is a simplified application with a cohesive and integrated platform that reduces boiler-plate code using dependency injection and default resources, broadens the use of annotations to increase efficiency; and enhances application portability to help further increase developer productivity.
Oracle said that its new features meet the most demanding enterprise requirements, such as breaking down batch jobs into manageable chunks for uninterrupted OLTP performance; defining multithreaded concurrent tasks easily for improved scalability; improving Managed Beans alignment (including transactional interceptors) and delivering transactional applications with choice and flexibility.
“Java EE continues to be popular with strong developer adoption. This is a great release with strong technology updates that meets the demands of today’s enterprises,” said Cameron Purdy, vice president of Development, Oracle.
“Oracle has a strong vested interest in the success of Java and we are firmly committed to working with the community to deliver a consistent, high-performance, high-quality Java EE implementation,” he adds.
