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."
A J2EE application is a mix of 3 things:
- Java source code
- J2EE XML descriptors
- 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.
