Yes exactly, I think that is what makes if feel like not the safest choice for many companies.
- pron 7y agoJava EE has not been the preferred choice for many companies long before this issue, which, I guess, is at least part of the reason why Oracle gave up those projects. I think Spring is the leader, but I am really not too familiar with that entire domain.
- dlandis 7y agoThat's right that _pure_ JEE has not been preferred, but part of my original point is that simple things like servlets are actually technically part of JEE - so if you are using Spring for web, cloud, etc then you are actually using JEE at least a little bit.
