We are excited to announce the next major release of KumuluzEE Config MP. KumuluzeEE Config MP 2.0.0 implements the
MicroProfile Config 2.0 specification, which includes many improvements, among others the support for the
@ConfigProperties annotation which extracts bulk config properties into a POJO, the API which allows developers to
determine the winning source for a configuration value, and more.
Note: This release of KumuluzEE Config MP requires the KumuluzEE 4.1.0 or higher in order to work correctly. Consequently, Java 11 or higher is also required.
Some of the bigger changes in the MicroProfile Config 2.0 specification like property expressions (configuration value interpolation) and configuration profiles were added to the core KumuluzEE and can be used with or without KumuluzEE Config MP extension. To read more about these changes see the KumuluzEE 4.1.0 release notes.
The @ConfigProperties annotation allows bulk extraction of config properties into a CDI bean and works similarly to
the KumuluzEE native @ConfigBundle annotation. It works in the MicroProfile Config’s environment and supports its
features (e.g. converters, custom ConfigSource implementations, …). For example, take a look at the following class:
We are pleased to announce the first stable release of the KumuluzEE Database Schema Migration extension for the KumuluzEE microservice framework.
The extension provides an easy way to migrate database schemas with Liquibase. It allows migrations at application startup or, if necessary, when the application is already running. Therefore, the extension can speed up the development process by ensuring that database schemas are up to date when the application starts.
The extension can be configured in the common KumuluzEE configuration file. The only requirement is a configured data source where the schema migrations can be performed. Since the extension is based on the Liquibase, all data sources supported by the Liquibase can be used in conjunction with this extension.
The main advantages of the extension are:
To get started quickly, configure the desired data source and link the migration to it.

We are announcing the availability of KumuluzEE version 4.1.0.
This release brings improvements to the configuration framework, such as configuration profiles, improved variable interpolation, and more!
We are happy to announce the next major release of KumuluzEE 4.0.0. This release includes a major Jetty upgrade, support for the latest released versions of Java, including the Java 17 LTS version and the use of JakartaEE 8 artifacts replacing the JavaEE 8 artifacts.
We are happy to announce the first Beta of KumuluzEE 4.0.0. This is the first prerelease of the major release, which brings a major Jetty upgrade, support for the latest released versions of Java, including the Java 17 LTS version and the use of JakartaEE 8 artifacts replacing the JavaEE 8 artifacts.
We are excited to announce a new minor release - KumuluzEE GraphQL 1.1.0. This release includes a new MicroProfile compatible implementation, we have updated the GraphiQL (GraphQL UI) to support better schema exploration and fixed some bugs in our existing implementation.
To use the new MP-compatible implementation use the following dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.kumuluz.ee.graphql</groupId>
<artifactId>kumuluzee-graphql-mp</artifactId>
<version>${graphql.version}</version>
</dependency>
Note that the existing implementation (artifact kumuluzee-graphql) is still being updated. However, we advise new
users to start with the MP implementation since this implementation is more likely to receive new features in the future.
GraphiQL now includes the explorer plugin, which enables you to interactively construct a query or mutation. This makes schema exploration and API usage even easier.
Integration with KumuluzEE REST has also been revamped to be more intuitive and future-proof.
Sort and filter arguments are now string-based and limit/offset are now top level arguments.
This makes queries more readable and easier to process. The QueryParameters object can be constructed and used
with any KumuluzEE REST implementation (currently StreamUtils and JPAUtils).
The samples for MP-compatible implementation are already available:

Five years have already passed since we began developing the Kumuluz digital platform, although the initial ideas and development of various pieces started even earlier. Five years ago we finalized our vision to provide a unique set of open, lightweight, API and microservice based building blocks within the Kumuluz digital platform. The main objective of Kumuluz is to help companies make their digital transformation faster, more efficient, less costly, and – most importantly – to shorten time-to-market for their digital products and services.
We are pleased to announce the first version of the KumuluzEE AMQP project. This version provides support for the RabbitMQ message broker.
KumuluzEE AMQP supports sending and receiving messages with a few simple annotations. Broker configuration can be defined with the configuration framework, which makes it fairly simple.
We are announcing the availability of KumuluzEE version 3.2.0.
This release brings compliancy with the MicroProfile 1.3, 1.4, 2.0 and 2.1. MicroProfile is an open initiative extending Enterprise Java with standardized APIs in order to optimize Java EE for a microservice architecture. These APIs allow you to collect and expose application metrics in a standardized way, trace requests across multiple microservices, invoke RESTful APIs in a type-safe and intuitive way, introduce common fault-tolerance patterns, document microservices using the OpenAPI and much more.
To start using MicroProfile with KumuluzEE pick the version that suits your needs and use one of the following dependencies:
We are announcing the release of KumuluzEE JWT Auth 1.1.1. This release brings simplified configuration, as manual import of the JWT filter and dynamic feature is no longer required and is done automatically. KumuluzEE JWT Auth now implements the MicroProfile JWT Authentication 1.1. It also fully supports Java 9+.
With shiny new KumuluzEE release we are bringing JDK9+ support to Kumuluzee gRPC too! Project can now be compiled and will run without errors. Though, running service on Java 11 will print some warnings to the console. These are warnings from JVM caused by some reflection lookups in the dependencies.
We are announcing the availability of KumuluzEE version 3.1.0.
This release enables configurable classpath scanning and includes an updated Jetty dependency and a minor bug fix.
Configurable classpath scanning enables scanning of application dependencies in addition to the main application module. This means that you can put JAX-RS providers and other classes that need to be scanned in any module, whereas before these classes had to reside in the main application module or be correctly proxied in the main application module.
We’re announcing the release of the KumuluzEE JWT Auth 1.0.1. This release adds the MP-JWKS support for KumuluzEE JWT Auth. This allows the library to use JWKS as a source of verification keys.
More details about this release can be found on GitHub.
Please note that this release is not yet compliant with the MicroProfile JWT Auth 1.1 specification. A new version will be available in the near future.
After a few months of development and testing, KumuluzEE GraphQL is now officially released. You can now use GraphQL in your microservices. Extension is designed to be as user-friendly as possible; you can create your first GraphQL endpoint with as little as two annotations in the code!
Get started with the extension by checking out samples at GitHub. Source code and documentation can be found here.
We’re happy to announce the KumuluzEE Event Streaming extension v1.0.0 for the KumuluzEE framework.
The extension enables developers to easily integrate their microservices with the Apache Kafka platform, produce and consume events, and build stream processors. All the features can be easily implemented with provided annotations.
We are happy to announce first stable release of KumuluzEE-gRPC extension. This extension provides an easy way to include gRPC communication protocol in your existing KumuluzEE microservices. Define API (using Protobufs), extend generated classes, provide configuration and you are good to go! gRPC client is also supported, basic configuration is provided automatically to you by extension. For more advanced scenarios, you should consider using grpc-java library directly. This release supports JWT token based authentication and client-server verification using asymetric crypthography.
