Sun 'Calls JBoss bluff' on J2EE compliance

joshmccormack writes "According to c|net's news.com Sun has finally responded to JBoss Group's request for J2EE compliance testing. Simon Phipps, Sun's chief technology evangelist stated in the article he thinks JBoss Group is bluffing, that their code won't pass the tests, and that some of the code is just copied from Sun."

    Mono is already fully EMCA standards compliant and has been for some time.

    IBM Announces Commitment to Common Criteria Security Certification of Linux across IBM eServer Platforms

    2/13/2003 18:38

    Bernadette Rose submits, " IBM today announced that it will work with the Linux community to enter the Common Criteria certification process for the Linux operating system early this year and proceed with a progressive plan for certifying Linux at increasing security levels through 2003 and 2004. The Common Criteria (CC) is an internationally endorsed, independently tested and rigorous set of standards used by the Federal government, and other organizations around the world, to evaluate the security and assurance levels of technology products.

    "With Linux experiencing significant traction among governments around the world, securing Common Criteria certification for Linux will demonstrate that Linux is secure for government applications," said Jon "Maddog" Hall, President and Executive Director of Linux International. "The Linux community is actively working on security enhancements to make Linux even more secure than it is today, which will enable progressively higher levels of certification in the future."

    With today's announcement, IBM is committing to partner with the Linux community to complete the CC evaluation and certification, to develop additional security enhancements, and to work with Linux distributors to make them available. In addition, IBM will continue to accelerate its investment in the certification of its servers and family of IBM middleware, including WebSphere®, DB2®, Lotus® and Tivoli® software.

    Through its Linux Technology Center, IBM will invest development resources to enable Linux for CC certification across IBM eServer(tm) platforms, and will fund initial evaluations in 2003. Other investments will include ongoing certifications for new and existing IBM products, at or above customer-specified levels.

    "Linux is the fastest-growing operating system in the world today, and we see governments and customers across all industries worldwide adopting it at an ever rapid pace because it frees them from dependence on a proprietary approach," said Jim Stallings, IBM General Manager, Linux. "This investment represents the next step in IBM's ongoing commitment to accelerate the development of Linux as a secure, industrial strength operating system."

    The United States Federal government requires that all commercially-acquired information technology products used in national security systems be independently certified by approved testing facilities against the Common Criteria, and many other countries adhere to similar standards.

    You said I said:
    J2EE standard says otherwise, then [..] JBoss is not compliant.

    That's nice - you omitted the question mark I put at the end of that sentence. If we choose not to ignore that, then this:

    It seems to me that you have a serious English problem with understanding causes and their effects

    Is just you trying to put words in my mouth (or just insulting me by implying that my grasp of English is somehow more deficient than yours?). I was quoting two pieces of the article that seemed at odds with each other, verbatim, and then asking a question about them.

    Or maybe I should say RTFA

    Indeed.
