Oracle Wtirki »*aprrr Irrtrrxuchon ta Java WatTonn. hntrfpnw l-drti<xi 6 Executive Overview Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 6 (Java EE 6) provides new capabilities that make it easier to develop and deploy enterprise and Web applications. It provides a simplrfied developer exprience; embraces innovative open source frameworks; offers a comprehensive Web profile for lightweight. standards-based Web applications; and begins the formai process of pruning outdated and unused technology from the platform.

Oracle Wnre »*aper Irrirrxiufhon ta Jjrvn PWTonn. hntrfpnw t-drti<xi 6 > Profiles contribute to the flexibility of Java EE 6. The idea is to dcoupl響 spcifications to enable combinations suited for diffrent use cases. For example, the Web Profile brings togetherjust the technology needed for Web applications. Additional profiles being consklered would be created via the JCP. 驕 Similarto deprecation, pruning removes outdated orunused technologies such as EJB Entrty Beans, Java API for XML Registries (JAXR), and others. Pruning provides an orderly way to alert organizations that a technology...

By carcfully pmning APIs that are ontdatcd, not well supportcd, or not widely deployed, Java EE can achieve a more lightweight platform diat's casier to use and provides zoom for euhancements and refinements. Pruning is marked in the JavaDoe, indicating that a spcification is a candidate for becoming optional. More spccifically, dus means diat die identified technologies may bc...
