Vincent, I wasn't meaning literally. I meant Tomcat is important and relevant out there, Glassfish much less so, as the numbers of users of the two show up. When you say standard you're meaning international standards, when I say standard I mean de-facto ones. >> EJB3 is not the standard, Spring and Hibernate are. > Wrong again, Spring and Hibernate are products from one company for > each, and architecture concepts do not come at the begining from a > diversified expert group. > > Standards are not about Sun or whatever, they're technology that come > from experts comming from differents univers and need a technology tha > rule them all. Here is the point were we disagree. Any worthwhile implementation from my point of view comes from the ground up and has a vibrant community of developers and users, it's alive, reacts to the needs of the developers and users quickly. If it happens it implement an international standard more power to them, but that's not what I'm looking for in general when I implement new software. If all of a sudden all the open source community around Java vanished I would switch to another language right away (a language that has a vibrant community behind it, such as python).
