Open Source J2EE 1.4 gets Sun green light

ComputerWire Fleury said JBoss would now seek standards certification for its implementation. JBoss stands to become the first open source group to deliver a version of J2EE 1.4 under the revised JCP.   None of this would have been possible without the hard work of Jason Hunter.

What does it matter whether sun gives jboss the j2ee rubber stamp when jboss has security bugs so severe that they look like something out of a microsoft mail product?

Have a look for yourself...

I was an enthusiastic supporter of jboss for a long time but this stuff will never get past a security audit. Thus,these holes give companies far more reason to condemn it than lack of certification would otherwise. My company doesn't really care about the certification per se, but we do care about security.
