Re: [cn4j-alliance] MP apis and "graduation" to Jakarta EE

Correct, and that is what I am trying to get an understanding of as well. I believe config is a strong candidate for a spec that has different handling relative to the default behavior in MP. I believe Red Hat would vote for a change in handling on the MP side in order to use config on the Jakarta side. On the Jakarta side Red Hat would vote to not have to duplicate the effort that has already been put in.

The question is whether that could be a consensus view across the two WGs.

My understanding is that there are only a few MP APIs considered for inclusion in Jakarta APIs.  Are there no MP APIs that would be considered for maintaining in a backward compatible way moving forward within the MP working group? Does such a demand for backward compatibility make it such that the API cannot be evolved within the MP working group?

 

I'm still trying to understand what the two working groups are open to for a solution to using MP APIs in Jakarta specifications.

Yes, many and APIs were not intended to ever transition to the JCP. Even with the transition of JCP to Jakarta, there remain process, cost and lifecycle issues that would cause Red Hat to target MP over Jakarta.
