Supported APIs and Applications

  • Jakarta EE 11

  • Jakarta EE 11 Applications

  • MicroProfile 7.1

Important

Support for MicroProfile OpenTracing has been removed in this release.

MicroProfile OpenTracing was removed from the MicroProfile platform at MicroProfile 6.0 and is superseded by MicroProfile Telemetry. The specification defines no migration path between the two: @Traced has no MicroProfile Telemetry equivalent, and explicit instrumentation uses the OpenTelemetry @WithSpan annotation instead. Applications using the MicroProfile OpenTracing APIs need re-instrumenting before upgrading.
