Thanks for your question.
In the book, I demonstrate with plenty of code examples the new features added to Java EE 8. It includes two large chapters on the brand new security API and JSON Binding. There are some really cool new additions such as the Reactive client in JAX-RS and asyn events in CDI to name just a few. I touch on the spring framework, although version 5 does looks really interesting. When developing microservices you can develop some in Java EE, some in Spring other in GoLang or whatever best solves the problem. In terms of mixing them in one project, I suggest that there would have to be a very good reason for doing so. Perhaps some of the Spring APIs could be used with a Java EE project but making them work together might be more of a headache than its worth.
Thanks for the reply - and for highlighting some of the things to look out for. The security API and the Reactive Client have definitely piqued my interest!
Thanks
