Re: [jaxrs-dev] Vendor commitments
|
I completely agree that the success of JAX-RS (and Jakarta EE) depends on the rapid (but still high quality, performant, etc.) implementation of multiple vendors.
Where I am stuck is that we still don’t have a spec document or a TCK to confirm that an implementation is compatible with the spec. Since JAX-RS 2.1.1 (Jakarta) is supposed to be compatible with JAX-RS 2.1 (Oracle) most vendors could probably claim that they have a compatible implementation already - IMO that would violate the spirit of the open source community because only vendors who paid Oracle for the rights to the EE CTS could truly claim compliance. And there would not be any way for users or third parties to verify compatibility.
That said, my hope (I cannot commit) is that Liberty (Open and the commercial WebSphere Liberty) would release a compatible implementation within 6 months of the spec release - ideally sooner. In the past we have released betas that are mostly compatible earlier - I would expect that we’d do the same thing for JAX-RS 2.2 and beyond.
Thanks,
Andy
Dear JAX-RS Vendors,
now that JAX-RS 2.1.1 soon will be published, we need to look ahead on the upcoming release 2.2 and on the releases of your products.
With your kind approval we already added the first feature to JAX-RS 2.2, and more will come. To make the JAX-RS project a success, there must be implementations, as we provide only an API. As many people "out there" are waiting to actually use our new stuff, you can imagine that many are waiting for a time frame for "their" favorite implementing product, not just for the API.
Hence I think it is a good time for some commitment. I'd like to kindly ask all vendors to commit to our agreed schedule (at least 2.1.1 and 2.2) and tell the public here, which release of their product will support which version of JAX-RS 2.1.1 / 2.2, and when people can actually hold it in their hands.
Thanks a lot!
