Abstract

This session traverses some of the big ticket new features in JavaEE 7 by introducing the Cargotracker application. This end-to-end example is a new project on java.net. Cargotracker brings back some of the ideas of the JavaEE Blueprints efforts of years past. Some of the new JavaEE 7 features demonstrated in Cargotracker include:

  • WebSockets
  • JSON-P
  • JavaAPI for RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS)
  • JavaServer Faces (JSF)
  • Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI)
  • Bean Validation
  • Expression Language

This is your chance to look at JavaEE 7 features in the context of a realistic application, available with an MIT license at http://cargotracker.java.net/.
