Java EE 6 Highlights

The Java EE 6 platform includes the following new features:

  • Profiles, configurations of the Java EE platform targeted at specific classes of applications. Specifically, the Java EE 6 platform introduces a Web Profile targeted at web applications, as well as a Full Profile that contains all Java EE technologies.

  • New technologies, including the following:

    • Java API for RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS)

    • Contexts and Dependency Injection for the Java EE Platform (JSR-299), informally known as Web Beans

    • Java Authentication Service Provider Interface for Containers (JASPIC)

  • New features for Enterprise JavaBeansTM (EJBTM) components (see Enterprise JavaBeans Technology for details)

  • New features for servlets (see Java Servlet Technology for details)

  • New features for JavaServerTM Faces components (see JavaServer Faces Technology for details)
