Date: 2025-11-11

Present:

Top of mind for Jared, James

Emily: Retaining MP namespace ballot forthcoming (following the discussion here)
New Agentic AI specification project created:
- https://jakarta.ee/specifications/agentic-ai/
- No repo, mailing list or project page created yet. In progress.
- Expect to be stand-alone for now until it is more flushed out for maybe EE 13 or 14.
- May have a Jakarta Futures call in January about this new spec
3 new CCRs for platform exist. One is from yesterday and the other 2 will be 2 weeks on Friday.

Still aiming for Dec 9 for M2 completion before the end of year holidays
Read-only Transaction new function.
- Read-only Transactions needs to be added to Platform Spec for EE 12.
  - https://github.com/jakartaee/platform/issues/1201 is the tracker
  - Mostly notably will cover JDBC and other spec integration with that function
- Messaging mailing list discussion is also happening for Transaction Read-only function
- Will need TCK testing to show that the transaction is marked read only before doing work
- Concern that there is the possibility that updates will be lost without knowing it.
  - Similar things can happen with persistence with context not being added to the transaction
  - Nathan has suggested some options to tweak the design. Being discussed in the connector spec
  - Need to have this well documented and/or force failures when modifications are happening in a read only transaction context
- Also there are design discussions about not extending XAResource, but instead to have a mix-in interface instead
https://github.com/jakartaee/platform-tck/issues/2478 EE 12 prepare for snapshot release.
- Mostly need to cherry-pick or sync up EE 11 Platform TCK changes to EE 12
Jakarta Futures on Thursday this week may cover Jakarta Portlet new specs
