Mark Optional
(Move
to jakarta namespace) - Vote • Jakarta
Enterprise
Web Services 1.4, JSR 109
• EJB 2.x API Group (Table 18 in EJB 3.2 Spec)
Since the
other
Web Services related specifications are being proposed as
Optional (in
Vote 3), we felt it was sufficient to mark JSR 109 as Optional.
There
is no API associated with this Specification, but there is a TCK
and Implementation.
So, still some work to do, but we lower the bar for new
implementations.
Since there
was
confusion on the specific EJB APIs that were proposed
previously, and there
was a mix level of support for pruning, this proposal suggests
to mark
the EJB 2.x API Group as Optional. Granted, this still leaves
work
on the table for Jakarta EE 9 (vs pruning), but there seemed to
be a greater
level of hesitancy on removing this EJB 2.x API Group --
especially since
it was never marked optional or deprecated in the past. At
least
by marking it optional, it lowers the bar for new
implementations.
