| Prompt and Pray? JakartaEE Specs to the Rescue |
| Augmenting AI with the Power of Jakarta EE |
| We are happy to announce that Gerrit Grunwald and Ivar Grimstad will be our special guests for this month's meeting who will each present their own talk! |
Prompt and Pray? JakartaEE Specs to the Rescue
| AI code generation is changing everything, and not always for the better. Every developer now has a tireless coding assistant that can produce hundreds of lines of Java in seconds. But code is cheap, software isn't. |
| AI generates what you describe, and if your description is vague, ad hoc, or tied to a specific framework version, the result will be too. In the enterprise, code written today must still be maintainable in five, ten, or fifteen years...by people who may not have been part of writing it. Framework lock-in, abandoned libraries, and undocumented conventions are already hard enough to manage without AI accelerating the problem. |
| But when you give AI a specification-based contract like Jakarta EE, the generated code is portable, standardised, and guaranteed to have a support path for the foreseeable future. We will build a complete Jakarta EE 11 application, live, one spec at a time, entirely with AI assistance, to prove the point. |
Augmenting AI with the Power of Jakarta EE
| Building production-grade AI requires more than a model. It requires an ecosystem. The Java Community provides this ecosystem for the modern enterprise. Paired with Jakarta EE, it creates a formidable platform for AI Augmentation. |
| Come to this session to learn how to orchestrate enterprise-ready AI agents using Jakarta EE technologies in combination with AI augmentation approaches, such as tools, skills, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). |
