I don't necessarily agree with either point. JPOX has gained a lot of
credibility and good press by being the RI, and it will continue to
innovate in the product space as well.
I'm not at all in any way attacking or disrespecting JPOX. I just tend
to keep a clear distinction between RI and indep impls.
The Sun-branded Java EE server is also the RI and has been for the last
three releases starting with J2EE 1.3.
Of course, for some, I've proved your point. ;-)
Yes, I think you did exactly. And it was my understanding that the
Sun-branded server isn't quite the RI? That product development also
goes on top of the RI to make the products?
