Java EE 6 proposal published
The Java EE 6 proposal (JSR 316) was published yesterday. Rod Johnson (creator of the Spring Framework and the man originally against J2EE / EJB) has written a blog post "Java EE Gets it Right" where he welcomes the new JSR and looks forward to participate in the expert group. He thinks that Java EE 6 can solve many of the problems that has plagued the Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE). He concludes:
I believe that the enterprise Java community should welcome Java EE 6, and should welcome Sun's willingness to move with the times and take the choices that will strengthen the enterprise Java platform as a whole. There's a lot of good in J2EE/Java EE, but some of the problems have obscured it. Java EE 6 should change that!
