Nimbus API compatibility with Jakarta EE platform

[Doddegowda HG]

Currently Nimbus API are not compatible with Jakarta EE platform - as we see there are dependencies in javax packages (javax,mail and javax.servlet) - ServletUtils uses javax.

Is there any plan to make Nimbus API compatible with Jakarta EE platform or the build pipeline is getting adapted to support both? Please let us know.

Hi,

Could you put a few words what that compatibility means, in terms of packages, etc?

[Doddegowda HG]

We want to know if there will be latest release of Nimbus API version which can be used on Jakarta EE platform? Or will existing latest released 7.4 will also work on Jakarta ee?– we currently see javax package dependencies in nimbus api code.

[Yavor Vasilev]

Likely tomorrow we’ll be releasing 8.0 which will have javax.mail completely removed.

javax.servlet (3.0.1) will stay on as optional dependency.

It’s used only here:

https://www.javadoc.io/doc/com.nimbusds/oauth2-oidc-sdk/latest/com/nimbusds/oauth2/sdk/http/ServletUtils.html

Do you for some reason rely on this class?

[Shreema Ajila]

Thanks for the quick response. We use com.nimbusds.oauth2.sdk.http.HTTPRequest & com.nimbusds.oauth2.sdk.http.HTTPResponse.

Currently we are not using ServletUtils.

Could you please confirm, that from version 8 - apart from ServletUtils, no other classes in Nimbus have any javax dependency?

Hope the next version 8 also works on jakarta EE without any change in code.

Only there and nowhere else: d52f8856

May I ask when is the plan to completely migrate javax.servlet to Jakarta? Fully support tomcat 10

@Eddy Zhang Did you check the JakartaServletUtils?
