Re: [jakarta.ee-spec] BALLOT: Release Review for Jakarta Expression Lang

[Emily Jiang <emijiang6@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

+1 (IBM) with the following comments:

The section "New features, enhancements or additions" does not list much but the delivery has quite a few substantial functions delivered. I suggest listing the following 2 to draw people's attention:

• Support (and how to support) records in BeanELResolver? _expression_-language#201 Add support for java.lang.Record instances. The support is enabled by default. Support is provided via the new RecordELResolver.
• ELResolver for java.util.Optional _expression_-language#176 Add support for java.util.Optional. The support is not enabled by default. Users must add the new resolver OptionalELResolver to enable this support.

I have also put the above in the corresponding PR here.

Thanks

Emily

Greetings Jakarta EE Specification Committee.

I need your vote to approve and ratify the release of Jakarta _expression_ Language 6.0 as part of the Jakarta EE Platform 11 release.

The JESP/EFSP requires a successful ballot of the Specification Committee in order to ratify the products of this release as a Final Specification (as that term is defined in the EFSP).

The relevant materials are available here:

• https://github.com/jakartaee/specifications/pull/701
• https://deploy-preview-701--jakartaee-specifications.netlify.app/specifications/_expression_-language/

Per the process, this will be a fourteen day ballot, ending on 29^th March 2024 that requires a Super-majority positive vote of the Specification Committee members (note that there is no veto). Community input is welcome, but only votes cast by Specification Committee Representatives will be counted.

The Specification Committee is composed of representatives of the Jakarta EE Working Group Member Companies (Fujitsu, IBM, Oracle, Payara, Tomitribe, Primeton, and Shandong Cvicse Middleware Co.), along with individuals who represent the EE4J PMC, Participant Members, and Committer Members.

Specification Committee representatives, your vote is hereby requested. Please respond with +1 (positive), 0 (abstain), or -1 (reject). Any feedback that you can provide to support your vote will be appreciated.

Thanks,
