The Apache Openwebbeans team wants to eliminate complexity by adapting the server to the user. So, the team released the Apache Meecrowave Project version 1.0.
Apache Meecrowave is a small server that is ideal for microservices and standalone services. Apache Openwebbeans says, "Apache Meecrowave is a micro server based on Apache OPENWEBBEANS,TOMCAT,CXF and Johnzon. In other words, it contains all of the Java EE-based microservices that you need to run from the command line, and only 9 MB. ”
This project enables users to quickly deploy JSON Web Services, and through Meecrowave extensions make development and production smoother. The project has the ability to use JPA without using a full container, the MAVEN plug-in that runs Meecrowave, the Gradle plugin, two major test integrations, monitoring integration, and an experimental model integrated with CXF OAuth2.
Meecrowave can be started by the Maven plugin (for ease of development), programmatically as an embedded server, bundled as an application with business code, or as a runner to start a portable war or jar application.
In addition, the team recently released a Version 1.7.4 of Openwebbeans. The latest version made an error fix, including the implementation of the CDI-1.2 API, and passed JSR-330 TCK.
The Openwebbeans has a modular architecture and provides a dependency injection extension from the Java SE environment to the EE 7 server cluster with a complex classloader hierarchy or OSGi environment.
