Re: [jakartaee-platform-dev] NEW VOTE 3: Optional Specs for

Hi Mohamed,
All four of these Specifications (JAXB, JAX-WS, SOAP, and WS Metadata) are already in the works to move them to the respective EE4J projects.  You can see the PRs that are in flight via this query:
https://github.com/jakartaee/specifications/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+label%3Ajavase

The ball is in the Spec Committee's court to complete the preliminary approvals and then post them for official ballots.  Once these are complete, then the initial move to the Jakarta/EE4J projects will be complete.  There will be Maven artifacts under the jakarta artifact namespace, but the packages will still be using the javax namespace.  Please feel free to review these and provide comments if you see anything out of place.  But, the work was pretty much done by Lukas already.

If these APIs would need to evolve in the future, then the APIs have to move to the jakarta namespace.  Evolving these APIs in the javax namespace is not doable.

Hope this helps with the understanding.

I agree that jaxb is widely used and will be used,  along with soap, for quite sometime.

But let's differentiate between jaxb and soap progress as part of Jakarta EE or as a stand alone specification.
This vote is not against them evolving. I am pretty sure that Kevin tried to clarify this on many replies already.

So, the best case scenario from my perspective is to have them optional without moving to Jakarta namespace. This is from Jakarta ee perspective.

And also, meanwhile, we would align a big bang migration for those two technologies in parallel outside of the Jakarta ee project.

1. Basically, it allows new vendors to ditch them
2. Allows existing implementations to migrate and support new versions whenever they like.
3. Allows the libraries to evolve in synch with Jakarta ee. Which can be easily added as a support through implementations later on.

If that is OK from legal side, which as far as I understand is yes, then I would like to join the efforts to migrate them as standalone standards.
Kevin, would that be an option?
I know you have replied to this before.
But just let's have a clear yes/no answer (hopefully for the last time).

Best regards,
Mohamed Elbeltagy

I think Kevin counted me as a -1 based on my comments on vote 2, so making it formal. I am ok with these APIs being optional, but I believe that they should be moved to the Jakarta  namespace because that is what big bang requires. While today we cannot see obvious reasons to evolve these APIs they are still commonly used and that means to me that a future need to evolve is non-zero. We are moving EJB despite the fact a significant group of people think it is legacy and the evolution should push it out of the platform in favour of a CDI based approach and I think SOAP use is more common that IIOP.
