I would love to have a way where people can download the uber tar
ball which includes all the bits we have at the time and let the

majority of our users are looking more for a server assembly that
is a Java EE 5 server with the bits they need to develop Java EE
applications (and or deploy them). What seems manageable to me is
that we choose a finite set of Java EE 5 assemblies (no more than
two based on Jetty and Tomcat given our history, that are
certified. Dain made a comment and I've heard similar things that
to be certified all modes of operation must be exercised and I
think that someone might reasonably apply it to all the pieces of
the uber server.
Based on feedback I've gotten from users I know that I often hear
Tomcat and OpenJPA as a combo they are interested in. As far as
the web services piece I haven't really heard a strong preference
one way or another. however, since that's not my strong suit
that's not a good indication of anything. Do others have feedback
in this area?
For purposes of this discussion I'll throw out the following combos
for discussion:
Tomcat, CXF and OpenJPA
Jetty, Axis 2 and Cayenne
As a Jetty user, I'd like to see CXF and OpenJPA. If tomcat users
want Axis2 and Cayenne that is cool with me.
