It has taken us a while to negotiate with Sun and get the contracts in place
and
it is expensive (I am not prepared to disclose exact figures). The reason we
have
become a licensee is to get access to the test suites and ensure that our
platform
is fully compliant. We don't expect this to take too long as we have started
from the
ground up based entirely on the spec whereas most app servers have been
around
for a while and J2EE is just the latest 'feature' as I think you pointed out
in an earlier
mail.
We get some other benefits such as participation in the design of future
releases
of the EJB/J2EE and related specs and some marketing benefits but getting
our
platform 100% compliant is our main interest.
