Aspose.Total and TomEE 9 Support (Jakarta APIs)

Aspose.Total Product Family
1

Hello,

We’re planning on switching to TomEE 9, which does not support javax.* APIs. It requires migration to jakarta.* APIs.

Aspose Total JARs have been flagged as using javax.* APIs. Which version of Aspose Total should we upgrade to in order to safely adopt TomEE 9?

Here’s a sample produced using jdeps:

   com.aspose.pdf.internal.imaging.internal.bouncycastle.est.jcajce -> javax.security.auth.x500                           java.base
   com.aspose.pdf.internal.imaging.internal.bouncycastle.jcajce -> javax.crypto                                       java.base
   com.aspose.pdf.internal.imaging.internal.bouncycastle.jcajce -> javax.crypto.interfaces                            java.base
   com.aspose.pdf.internal.imaging.internal.bouncycastle.jcajce.io -> javax.crypto                                       java.base
   com.aspose.pdf.internal.imaging.internal.bouncycastle.jcajce.provider.asymmetric.dh -> javax.crypto

It’s not just Aspose PDF. I’ve confirmed that the following have the same issue:

  • Aspose Cells
  • Aspose Diagram
  • Aspose Slides
  • Aspose Tasks
  • Aspose Words

In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if all of Aspose Total Java libraries need to be reviewed.

Regarding Aspose.Slides, our developers have looked into your question. In Aspose.Slides, we do not use any Java EE classes. It is safe to use any version of Aspose.Slides.

Thanks for the confirmation. That leaves Aspose Email, PDF, and Words.

Thanks, but aside from version 23.12 there’s no other information available and the Release Notes link leads to a 404 error.

Yes, we noticed the Aspose.Diagram for Java 23.12 Release Notes [link](https://docs.aspose.com/diagram/java/aspose-diagram-for-java-23-12-release-notes/) is invalid, we will fix it soon.
