Agenda and Minutes

[IG] False Compatibility Certification Request?

• https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jakartaee-platform/issues/292
• Action: Close with a comment (Ivar)

Jakarta EE 9.1

• Changes needed in EFSP for service releases without spec committee ballot. Brought up to the Spec Committee mailing list. Work in progress.
• Anyone with an Enterprise Beans implementation is recommended to join the discussions happening on the Enterprise Beans mailing list.
• Some EE 9 implementations are including their own PortableRemoteObject for running on Java SE 11.
  • Defer making a decision on whether SPEC API should be added for PortableRemoteObject until EJB team gets more feedback from implementations.
  • Ask: Can all implementations:
    • Check to see if you ship your own copy of PortableRemoteObject.narrow
    • Is that jar separate from your ORB
    • Where did the source code come from for that?
      • Example: https://github.com/apache/geronimo-yoko/blob/master/yoko-rmi-spec/src/main/java/javax/rmi/PortableRemoteObject.java
    • Can you support EJB clients that use IIOP in Java 11 without requiring a PortableRemoteObject narrow call?
