Sun 'Calls JBoss bluff' on J2EE compliance

Posted by Hemos on from the battle-royale-begins dept.

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."

    You obviously don't know sh^H^H much about J2EE.
    A J2EE application is a mix of 3 things:
    1. Java source code
    2. J2EE XML descriptors
    3. Proprietary XML descriptors
    (1) and (2) can be reused. But (3) must be rewritten for each target application server. And depending on the application that is being migrated, this could be done in a matter of hours or days.

    Well, you do have a funny way of commenting that sounds like FUD to me. That's why I jumped at you.

    The article says: the company asserts that its software is compatible with J2EE because applications [...] can be reworked to run on JBoss in a matter of hours or days.
    Yet, you come in and say that if the application has to be reworked and the J2EE standard says otherwise, then [..] JBoss is not compliant.

    It seems to me that you have a serious English problem with understanding causes and their effects. Or maybe I should say RTFA.
    Oh wait, this is Slashdot. I nearly forgot.

    The Open Source community could not possibly be smart enough to do this on their own. They MUST have stolen the knowledge from US !
