The link for this on the draft server doesn't go anywhere. Maybe it is confused by the . character?
Early preview of Jakarta Data 1.1

[njr-11]

Suggested change

	This release reviews three new features of Jakarta Data 1.1: retrieving a subset or projection of entity attributes, the `@Is` annotation, and `Constraint` subtype parameters for repository methods that apply basic constraints to repository `@Find` and `@Delete` operations.

This is very minor, but within this same paragraph, the , character is included after Previously, and Now, in two other places, and is not consistent here. In case that matters, here is the correction,

Suggested change

Previously, repository methods couldn't limit retrieval of results to subsets of entity attributes (commonly referred to as projections). Now, repository methods can return Java records that represent a subset of an entity. In addition, parameter-based `@Find` and `@Delete` methods earlier were not able to filter on conditions other than equality. Now more advanced filtering can be done in two different ways: typing the repository method parameter with a `Constraint` subtype or indicating the `Constraint` subtype by using the `@Is` annotation.

Suggested change

	The first half of the static metamodel class includes constants for each of the entity attribute names so that you don't need to otherwise hardcode string values into your application. The rest half of the static metamodel class provides a special instance for each entity attribute, from which you can build restrictions and sorting to apply to queries at run time.

Acrolinx suggested 'See the following example of the application that uses the repository and static metamodel.'

I added review comments for the Jakarta Data 1.1 section. It's likely that many of these are my own grammar mistakes and were copied from the issue I originally opened for this. I didn't notice them until re-reading it on the preview. Sorry about that.

Could you please remove a before complete like below

Suggested change

	The springBoot-4.0 feature provides a complete support for running a Sprint Boot 4.x application on Open Liberty as well as having the capability to thin the application when creating applications in containers.

Could you please add the before settings like below

Suggested change

	To use this feature, the user must be running `Java 17` or later with EE11 features enabled. If the application uses servlets, it must be configured to use `Servlet 6.1`. Include the following features in your `server.xml` file to define settings.

I'm happy with the MCP section
