I hope that Sun will recall from its previous mistakes, like putting Solaris in OSS just when Linux was so widely used on Unix boxes that it became a de-facto reference in business even considered by IT. May be they will wake-up when MS .NET will start to populate 70% of the Web Services of the Planet, at that time they'll propose Java to OSS. But before doing that, they could try to just put some importants API like javamail, jta, jndi, jdbc2ext back to OSS as they do for servlets. Nota, that these APIs are mandatory to build and use the ASF Tomcat 4.0, which make me and others pretty bad. Frankly Sun should learn from IBM model and start to sell services instead of just software. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
