A quick update: the JCP SE/EE EC has approved all the Java EE 6 specs in the first batch of votes mentioned in our Jan 6th Report:
|
•
Vote results
for JSF 2.0
(Ed Burns & Roger Kitain,
JSR 314,
@TA
|
EJB 3.1 (results) and JPA 2.0 (results), were approved previously; Bean Validation, WebBeans will go to vote on Feb 3rd.
During the break, I noticed that the Bean Validation spec had gone into Public Review Draft. That spec is the last of the batch being considered for JavaEE 6. Below is a full list based on a pass through JCP (will adjust if I missed any); all of them are either in PRD or past it; the only exception is Java EE 6 itself (JSR 316) which, by definition, lags them all.

Some of these specs have already been voted on: EJB 3.1 (results) and JPA 2.0 (results); for some others the vote starts on Jan 6th: JCA 1.6, Servlet 3.0, JSF 2.0, and a last batch starts on Feb 3rd: Bean Validation, WebBeans.

Binod and Sivakumar have been driving the work on JSR 322: JavaTM EE Connector Architecture 1.6, a lesser-advertised but quite important part of the forthcoming Java EE 6 standard. The overall goal is to strengthen the existing 1.5 version of the specification. More details are available in this entry by Siva. It includes Generic Inflow Context, Security Inflow, some Ease of Development, and more. Comments on the Early Draft are accepted for a few more days, until September 8th (in case you're looking for something to read this week-end! :). |
