Subject: JAXR update to support UDDI v3?

My impression is that few customers are using the JAXR API and

there's little interest from vendors to improve JAXR.  Because

of that, JAXR has fallen behind the UDDI spec and doesn't support

all the latest UDDI features.

How important do you think it is for us to update JAXR?

If this were free, we would just do it, but given that there's

real cost - to update the spec, to update the RI, and to update

the TCK - we need to determine whether to spend resources on this

work instead of any of the many other items we could be working

on.

Our current plan is to *not* update JAXR for Java EE 6.  If you

think that's the wrong decision, let me know, and suggest other

work that we could defer in order to do the JAXR work.

Alternatively, should we consider adding JAXR to the list of

technologies to prune from Java EE, possibly removing it in Java EE 7?

Let me know what you think.

Thanks.
