Overview

RESTEasy 6.2 is Jakarta REST 3.1 (Jakarta EE 10) compliant. The MicroProfile REST Client, MicroProfile REST Config Sources and Spring were moved out of the project and into new projects in RESTEasy 5.x. This was due to the project dependencies not being Jakarta EE 10 compliant.

One new module will be introduced for the org.jboss.resteasy.microprofile:microprofile-config.

Two new projects:

Old GA New GA

Old GA	New GA
`org.jboss.resteasy:resteasy-client-microprofile`	`org.jboss.resteasy.microprofile:microprofile-rest-client`
`org.jboss.resteasy:resteasy-client-microprofile-base`	`org.jboss.resteasy.microprofile:microprofile-rest-client-base`
`org.jboss.resteasy:resteasy-spring`	`org.jboss.resteasy.spring:resteasy-spring`

Requirements

Hard Requirements

Replace the RESTEasy MicroProfile client in WildFly
Do not change any runtime module names.
Add the org.jboss.resteasy.microprofile:microprofile-config module.
As part of the 5.x upgrade, WildFly Preview will be upgraded to RESTEasy 6.x for native Jakarta EE 9.1 support of Jakarta RESTful Web Services.
Quickstarts, especially for Spring, will require some changes. This needs to be done in conjunction with this change.
- The quickstarts that use Spring should change to include RESTEasy Spring in the deployment.

Nice-to-Have Requirements

Non-Requirements

Test Plan

The current test suite and Jakarta EE TCK should be sufficient for testing. The MicroProfile TCK is run as part of the resteasy-microprofile project. RESTEasy itself runs against the Jakarta REST 3.1 TCK nightly and with each PR.

Community Documentation

Community documentation will need to be updated to show the changes for the Maven group id’s and artifact id’s.

Release Note Content

RESTEasy has migrated the Eclipse MicroProfile support out of RESTEasy core into a new project. Functionally nothing has changed. The only requirement is a change to the Maven group id and artifact id required to use the MicroProfile REST Client and MicroProfile Config sources.

RESTEasy Spring has been removed from WildFly. This was done as there is no current release of Spring which supports the jakarta namespace change.
