About the technology
Enterprise Java foundation
Jakarta EE is the open standard for building secure, modular enterprise applications on the Java platform. It provides specifications for web interfaces, REST APIs, dependency injection, persistence, messaging, transactions and security. The technology was formerly known as Java EE and, before that, J2EE.
What it builds
Jakarta EE supports systems that need clear boundaries, reliable transactions and long-term maintainability. Companies use it for customer portals, internal business applications, public-sector services, banking workflows, logistics systems and API backends.
- RESTful services and integration APIs
- Transactional business applications
- Secure web applications and portals
- Event-driven services with messaging
Ecosystem and tooling
The platform works with runtimes such as Payara, WildFly, Open Liberty and GlassFish. Specialists often combine it with Maven or Gradle, Jakarta Persistence, Hibernate, MicroProfile, relational databases, Docker and Kubernetes. Familiarity with application servers, observability and automated testing is equally important.
When expertise matters
Freelance expertise is useful when a company is modernizing a Java EE system, moving from an older application server or separating a large application into services. It also helps when an internal team needs support with architecture, production incidents, compliance-sensitive security or a demanding release.
- Migrating Java EE namespaces to Jakarta EE
- Upgrading runtime and persistence components
- Designing APIs and service boundaries
- Improving deployment and test automation
Strong professional practice
Strong Jakarta EE professionals understand both the specifications and the runtime behavior behind them. They can explain transaction propagation, persistence performance, authentication flows and dependency scopes in practical terms. They also document decisions, test failure paths and keep application-server configuration reproducible.
Working across Switzerland
Jakarta EE systems appear in regulated and operationally critical environments, including finance, insurance, healthcare, manufacturing and public administration. A Switzerland-based specialist may work on-site for discovery or secure infrastructure work, then continue remotely with structured reviews, clear documentation and reliable communication in the agreed project language.
Frequently asked questions
Everything clients usually want to know about Jakarta EE, in one place.
Jakarta EE is used to build secure, transactional enterprise applications and REST services on Java. It fits systems that require clear component boundaries, database access, messaging, authentication and dependable application-server operation.
Jakarta EE provides a vendor-neutral set of enterprise specifications implemented by application runtimes such as WildFly, Payara and Open Liberty. Spring Boot offers a different ecosystem with extensive conventions and libraries, so the right choice depends on existing systems, team skills, runtime preferences and migration goals.
A strong Jakarta EE specialist usually works comfortably with Java, SQL, Maven or Gradle, REST, Jakarta Persistence and relational databases. Experience with MicroProfile, containers, Kubernetes, messaging, testing and observability can be important for modern production systems.
The need depends on the system’s risk, age and scope rather than a fixed tenure. A smaller API change may suit a focused specialist, while migration, security-sensitive work or application-server modernization calls for a professional who has handled comparable enterprise constraints.
Jakarta EE work is often suitable for remote collaboration because source code, runtime configuration, tests and deployment pipelines can be reviewed online. On-site sessions may still help with stakeholder workshops, restricted infrastructure or discovery in regulated Swiss environments.
Ask for evidence of work with the relevant runtime, persistence layer, security model and deployment process. A capable Jakarta EE professional should be able to explain trade-offs, show how failures are tested and describe how application-server configuration is kept consistent.
Jakarta EE remains relevant when organizations value open specifications, portable runtimes and established enterprise patterns. Its current ecosystem also supports cloud-native approaches through MicroProfile, containers, REST-based services and automated delivery.
Jakarta EE is the successor to Java EE after the platform moved to the Eclipse Foundation. The namespace transition from javax to jakarta affects imports and compatibility, so migration planning must cover application code, dependencies, libraries, runtime support and tests.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Switzerland who have used Jakarta EE in their recent projects is 118 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 940 € based on an 8-hour working day.
