Java EE 6 - The Overview

Hi altogether,

While enjoying my christmas holidays in Sweden I have enough time to look at some of the new features Java EE 6 offers.
Here's the overview:

- JavaTM Platform, Enterprise Edition 6 (Java EE 6) Specification, JSR 316
- Contexts and Dependency Injection for the Java EE Platform (CDI), JSR 299
- Enterprise JavaBeans 3.1 (No Interface, Singelton, asynchronous EJBs vs MDBs, Timer), JSR 318
- Java API for RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS), JSR 311
- JPA 2.0 (Support for Pessimistic Locking), JSR 317
- Dependency Injection for Java, JSR 330:
- Bean Validation, JSR 303
- Servlet 3.0, JSR 315
- JSF 2.0, JSR 314
- new Deployment possibilities
- improved/simplified testing

Right now I am focussing on CDI (JSR 299), which is a pretty big new part in Java EE 6. It'll take some time to summarize. In the meantime, I hope you're enjoying your free days over christmas.

So God Jul, Merry Christmas, Frohe Weihnacht, Feliz navidad, Joyeux Noël! or if you need some more translations...
