This article didn't cover what will happen to the JSR process. IBM has a huge investment in java but is now a direct competitor to oracle/weblogic. I'm worried oracle will not be as open with the JSR process and IBM will be less inclined to help make an Oracle product better. I'd really like to see a commitment to the community process that made J2EE great. As far as startups using java... Tomcat and JBOSS application server are free and scalable. Framework combo's i've used are spring/struts/jsp spring/java server faces/icefaces spring/spring web/jsp.
- kls 17y agoSince Oracle came into the picture, I have worried that we may be looking at 3 wholly incompatible Java distros, IBM , Oracle, and Apache / Open source. I just don't see how Oracle and IBM are going to get along without SUN in the middle.
- adamilardi 17y agoAgreed. If I was "in charge" I would spin off java into something like the Mozilla foundation. It could be supported equally by Oracle, IBM and others who build product on the technology.
