Comments on: Why would Sun make a JEE server that invents an alternative to JEE http://www.codedivision.com/modules/wordpress/2008/11/12/why-would-sun-make-a-jee-server-that-invents-an-alternative-to-jee/ Wed, 29 Apr 2009 09:09:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Neil Bartlett http://www.codedivision.com/modules/wordpress/2008/11/12/why-would-sun-make-a-jee-server-that-invents-an-alternative-to-jee/comment-page-1/#comment-20132 Neil Bartlett Wed, 12 Nov 2008 10:15:20 +0000 http://www.codedivision.com/modules/wordpress/2008/11/12/why-would-sun-make-a-jee-server-that-invents-an-alternative-to-jee/#comment-20132 It's a reasonable question, and perhaps it is too much to expect for Sun to be leading the way in building an enterprise OSGi application server. But other vendors certainly are working on this, and there is an Expert Group within the OSGi Alliance tasked with defining the standards required. Sun can choose to influence that process by taking some leadership in it, or they can be dragged along kicking and screaming. It's really up to them. The component model you refer to in your final paragraph is presumably JSR 277. Glassfish cannot eat that dog food because it does not exist and probably never will.
