Features in Java 17 (New Applet API Removal ) Deprecate the Applet API for Removal In JDK 17, the Applet API is marked as deprecated for removal. It means that the JDK 18 will remove the API.The Applet API removal is long overdue, considering that all browsers have either ended the support or have plans to do so. The API had already been deprecated in JDK 9, but it had not been marked for removal. • Applet API: Historically used for embedding Java applets in web browsers. • Replacement: HTML5, JavaScript, and modern web technologies now fulfill similar functionalities. Reasons: • Security vulnerabilities • Decreased usage • Modern web standards led to this decision Implications: • End of Life: Applets are no longer supported for running in web browsers as of Java 11 and beyond. • Transition: Developers and organizations must migrate existing applet-based applications to alternative technologies.
Features in Java 17 (Context-Specific Deserialization Filters ) Context-Specific Deserialization Filters Context-Specific Deserialization Filters provide a mechanism to control and restrict the deserialization process of objects based on contextual information. This is particularly useful in scenarios where deserialization of arbitrary objects from untrusted sources could pose security risks. Key Features: • Filter Interface: java.io.ObjectInputFilter provides methods to control deserialization behavior. • Contextual Criteria: Define filters based on caller class, code source, or specific attributes. • Granular Control: Allows per-call, per-thread, or per-application filters.

Features in Java 17 (Strong Encapsulation of JDK Internals by Default ) Strong Encapsulation of JDK Internals by Default In Java 17, a significant enhancement was introduced regarding the strong encapsulation of JDK internals by default. This change aims to improve the security and maintainability of Java applications by restricting direct access to internal APIs that are not part of the public Java API specification. • Access Restriction: Access to internal JDK classes and APIs (those in packages like sun.*, com.sun.*, jdk.internal.*, etc.) is restricted by default. Attempting to access these APIs from code outside the JDK itself will result in compilation errors or runtime exceptions. • Impact on Developers: • Migration: Developers are required to migrate their code away from using internal APIs to public APIs or supported alternatives. • Security: This change enhances the security of Java applications by reducing the attack surface exposed through potentially insecure internal APIs. • Maintainability: Encourages developers to write more robust and maintainable code by relying only on stable, documented public APIs. • Migration Strategies: • Use Public APIs: Identify and use public APIs or alternative libraries that provide equivalent functionality. • Module System: Utilize Java's module system (introduced in Java 9) to encapsulate internal implementations and expose only necessary public interfaces. • Compatibility: Use tools like the jdeps tool to analyze dependencies and identify usage of internal APIs that need migration.
Features in Java 17 (Strong Encapsulation of JDK Internals by Default ) Implementation of Strong Encapsulation of JDK Internals by Default In Java 17, direct access to sun.misc.BASE64Encoder is restricted due to strong encapsulation of JDK internals. Therefore, you should use the java.util.Base64 class from the standard Java API instead. Here's how you can rewrite your code using java.util.Base64:
Features in Java 17 (Deprecate and Disable Biased Locking ) Deprecate and Disable Biased Locking: Biased Locking Optimization for single-threaded access to locks. As of Java 17, biased locking has already been deprecated and disabled in previous versions (Java 15 and 16). Therefore, there are no additional changes or actions needed specifically for Java 17 regarding biased locking. Why Deprecate and Disable? • Performance considerations: Overhead in high-contention scenarios. • Simplification of JVM internals: Enhances predictability and scalability. • Deprecation (Java 15):Officially deprecated due to Increased complexity.
