In the ever-evolving landscape of enterprise IT, staying ahead of the curve is not just a goal but a necessity. As a testament to our commitment to innovation and adaptability, we are thrilled to announce the latest enhancement to the CICS Transaction Gateway (CICS TG) – support for Jakarta EE. This integration marks a significant milestone in our journey towards providing a more robust and flexible platform for seamless enterprise transactions.

Jakarta EE and Its Significance:

Jakarta EE, the successor to Java EE, is a powerful platform that empowers enterprises to develop and deploy scalable, reliable, and secure Java applications. With a rich set of APIs and a vibrant ecosystem, Jakarta EE has become the go-to choice for building modern, cloud-native applications.

CICS TG support for Jakarta EE

The marriage of CICS TG with Jakarta EE opens up a world of possibilities for businesses seeking to enhance their transactional capabilities. This integration ensures that CICS TG is not just keeping pace with the latest industry standards but is positioned at the forefront of technology, ready to meet the demands of the future.

One of the highlights of this integration is the introduction of a new resource adapter, specifically designed to seamlessly integrate CICS TG with Jakarta EE environments. This resource adapter serves as a bridge between the two technologies, ensuring a smooth and efficient transactional experience for enterprises.

We are proud to announce that almost all the APIs that were earlier supported in the Java EE framework are now available in the CICS TG Jakarta EE integration. This means that developers can easily migrate their existing Java EE application to Jakarta EE with minimal effort. 

This feature is added via APAR PH58172 in CICS TG version 9.3.

Key Benefits of CICS TG with Jakarta EE:

  1. Seamless Integration with Java Ecosystem:

    • With Jakarta EE support, CTG seamlessly integrates with the Java ecosystem, ensuring a smooth and efficient development process for Java developers. New resource adapter can be used by applications that intend to take advantage of Jakarta EE framework. 
  2. Enhanced Interoperability:

    • CICS TG provides better interoperability with other Jakarta EE-compliant systems, promoting a more cohesive and connected enterprise architecture. 
  3. Improved Developer Productivity:

    • CICS TG provides rich set of APIs for Jakarta EE support thereby simplifying the development process with its SDK . Developers can focus more on building business logic and less on boilerplate code, resulting in increased productivity.
  4. Future-Ready Architecture:

    • Now you can create future ready applications with CICS TG Jakarta EE support.  

In a world where adaptability is key, the integration of CICS Transaction Gateway with Jakarta EE is a testament to our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions for enterprise transactions. This collaboration enhances the capabilities of CICS TG, making it an even more powerful integration tool for organizations looking to streamline their transactional workflows and embrace the future of enterprise IT.
