Re: [esb-dev] [Fwd: JAXR update to support UDDI v3?]
What is the alternative to JAXR? Or is Java EE and UDDI essentially
parting ways at this juncture and it is up to the OSS world to build
something that becomes the "defacto standard" for providing a common
Java-based API to the various UDDI registry products on the market?

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.
