This is a demo of the major functionality in the Eclipse Cargo Tracker application, available at https://eclipse-ee4j.github.io/cargotracker/. The Eclipse Cargo Tracker project is designed to demonstrate utilizing common architectural paradigms like Domain-Driven Design (DDD) with Jakarta EE. The project is part of the EE4J umbrella.

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is an architectural approach that strongly focuses on materializing the business domain in enterprise software through disciplined object-oriented analysis. This session demonstrates first-hand how DDD can be elegantly implemented using Jakarta EE via an open source project named Cargo Tracker.

Cargo Tracker maps DDD concepts like entities, value objects, aggregates and repositories to Jakarta EE code examples in a realistic application. We will also see how DDD concepts like the bounded context are invaluable to designing pragmatic microservices.

This call welcomes everyone interested in join and contributes to Jakarta EE TCK.
The call provided two live code demos showing how to run a set of tests and also how standalone TCKs already migrated the TCK architecture from JT Harness into arquillian and JUnit.

Java EE has been re-branded to Jakarta EE and moved to truly open source governance under the Eclipse Foundation. This session overviews what this means, offers a brief tour of the first release - Jakarta EE 8, explores current state and looks to what the future might bring including some key challenges. We will also discuss how these challenges can be overcome through active community engagement.

The technical contents of Jakarta EE 8 is mostly the same as Java EE 8 - it solidly enables HTTP/2, Server-Sent Events (SSE), JSON and aligns the platform with Java SE 8. It includes a much awaited security API overhaul as well as a slew of critical updates to APIs like JSF, JPA, JAX-RS and CDI. The true difference is how Jakarta EE is evolved in the open.

You should come to this session with your thinking caps on and your sleeves rolled up. There is much to help move forward together that really matters.
