RE: JSR-000093: JAXR - your opinions?

["Nieman, Scott" <Scott.Nieman@NorstanConsulting.com>]

I am not certain what type of opinion you are looking for, but to me, this
shows commitment to ebXML that will enable ebXML registries.

I strongly support JAXR.  My fundamental reason is that the true success of
ebXML is real implementations BEYOND that of proof-of-concept.  I would hope
that a COM implementation is next, showing real interoperability.

Are you concerned about the press and how they view this as a Sun initiative
only?  (I think I was labelled as the fat bureaucrat - which really has
forced me to diet more)

Best regards,

Scott

Subject: JSR-000093: JAXR - your opinions?

I would be interested in hearing the opinions of this group regarding
the
proposed JSR-000093 Java(TM) API for XML Registries 1.0 (JAXR) at

http://java.sun.com/aboutJava/communityprocess/jsr/jsr_093_jaxr.html

particularly because it includes as contributions ebXML Registry
Information
Model Specification and the ebXML Registry Services Specification. In
particular, it raises again the issue of specific language bidings for
XML-related specifications and who should do them (reminds me of the
DOM),
and how to deal with such bindings when the primary means of accessing
an
application is via XML messaging.
