Learn MicroProfile 5.0 and Jakarta EE 9.1 from our newly enhanced cloud-hosted guides
To learn how to develop cloud-native Java applications and microservices on Open Liberty with MicroProfile 5.0 and Jakarta EE 9.1, you can try out our updated guides. You can run our guides in a hosted environment with enhanced interfaces, without having to worry about local setup and prerequisites. We recently updated 31 of our guides for compatibility with MicroProfile 5 and Jakarta EE 9. The Maven project pom.xml and Liberty configuration server.xml files in these guides are updated to use new Jakarta EE 9.1 and MicroProfile 5.0 APIs and features. Also, all Java classes now use the jakarta package namespace instead of javax, as shown in the following example.
To learn more about what changed in Jakarta EE 9.1, see the Jakarta EE 9.1 feature updates documentation. To learn about the differences between MicroProfile 5.0 and 4.1, see the Differences between MicroProfile 5.0 and 4.1 documentation.
