 Sorry not giving a link the other time. Here is Apache voting against
 JSR 127 long time ago.

 You can see Apache´s comment:
 
 On 2001-05-28 Apache Software Foundation voted No with the following
 comment:
 This JSR conflicts with the Apache open source project Struts.
 Considering Sun's current position that JSRs may not be independently
 implemented under an open source license, we see little value in
 recreating a technology in a closed environment that is already
 available in an open environment.

I would simply like to point out WHO is the specification lead of JSR-127
(see http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=127), and who was the initial
author of Struts (see http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/volunteers.html)...

Apache's concerns were Considering Sun's current position that JSRs may not
be independently implemented under an open source license [...], and I'll
let you make 1 + 1 here...
