jbosmansi'm interested to hear about any companies investing in the JEE ecosystem vs something like (say) spring
jbosmansfwiw JEE has great standards so "just" using any of them doesn't count, *only* using those JEE standards does :)
dreamrealWhat do you mean by "investing," though? You're looking for people who purposefully limit themselves artifically to jakarta.* specs only?
ParaWould paying Oracle for their products count?
jbosmansi don't understand the confusion about something being JEE only, or something else that (only) supports it (eg spring)?
jbosmansPara, not sure, i seem to remember changing a bunch of import not too long ago :)
dreamrealjbosmans: well, the thing is, you can deploy spring apps into jee appservers and be fully compliant with the intent
jbosmansyeah ofc dreamreal
jbosmansover here, only one more project left to upgrade to spring framework 7 :)
jbosmansdreamreal, didn't mean to underestimate the value of JEE, far from it, but besides "legacy clients", is there that much JEE demand anymore? (fwiw legacy clients is an extremely valid niche)
jbosmansaka i understand the value of being able to change JEE vendors (a lot), but, i don't think that's something that often happens?
dreamrealdepends on the development process: in-house, migration probably happens almost never
dreamrealbut component vendors are likely to deploy server-neutral components
jbosmanswhat do you mean by server-neutral? as in it could be any JEE compliant server?
jbosmansfwiw, i'm not sure many EAR files could be deployed to a new app server day-to-day in any case, not to say it isn't a noble (and worthwhile) goal
cheeser"nobody" uses JEE appservers anymore.
jbosmansdon't think i said that :)
jbosmansi remember writing java 1.4 when java 7 was out etc, so, yeah
