I am a Jetty and Cayenne user, so I'd like a "Jetty + ? + Cayenne"
combo :-)
So while I do not agree with the implication that an informal
popularity poll can provide a meaningful selection of a default
configuration (as this thread shows it will still be mostly
arbitrary), I agree with the approach outlined by Matt - certify a
minimal number of combinations (hopefully just 2) that spans all
supported individual components. The actual certified combos
shouldn't matter, as long as there is an easy way to activate
preferred components from the uber tarball.

I would love to have a way where people can download the uber tar

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.
