I agree with you that we should look forward to see what is coming in next versions of J2EE. But shouldn't we first look at _current_ spec? There are lots of things in J2EE 1.2/1.3 (even in EJB 2.0) that JOnAS is miles away from (Where is the new CMP model? Where is security services? Where is container interoperability? etc.). Before we discuss, what could be in J2EE 1.4 (e. g., what does this relate to an EJB-container-only-product?) we should discuss how to implement the _current_ spec. After that, we should discuss on a higher level: Is JOnAS really only an EJB container, or will it tend to become a complete server product that is greater than J2EE (since SOAP is not mandatory in neither J2EE 1.2 nor 1.3, but only an option that COULD come in the next release, that, if we are honest, does not appear before the next twelve months). So the question is: quo vadis, JOnAS? I mean, what sense does it make to implement SOAP ontop of JOnAS if JOnAS is currently not able to do all ! what EJB 2.0 tells? At ent, JOnAS is a horizontal layer in the J2EE architecture, with SOAP ontop, it will become a totally specialized product. If we plan to make JOnAS a _complete_ server product, including top-level protocols like SOAP or HTTPS, we should make a good plan how to implement this.
