Jean,
Good Point. Especially with Oracle itself going into a completely different separate direction (Fn, the Serverless Framework and runtime for the Cloud) maybe the term application Servers is not ideal. Container maybe or Runtime, as Long as it is not confused with Things like Docker (Container)

First off, I want to thank all of you who've started working on EE4J. What
an exciting and huge challenge!
Reading the draft charter, I've the feeling that speaking about "APIs for
application servers" is a bit restrictive. The present is focused on
microservices and containers, serverless may be the future and in this
context "Application servers" in general do not look that future-proof.
By saying that, I don't want to re-start the technical debate "Thin war vs
Uber jar". It is just a matter of communication and intention. May be we
should speak about "standard APIs for modern Java applications".
A good illustration of what I mean here is RedHat Wildfly Swarm wich
enables to run the same applications in a server or standalone mode.

Hi Jean,
A number of people have raised similar concerns so thank you! I strongly
suspect the project charter will be amended accordingly

Agreed. A revision of the charter that includes many of this helpful
suggestions will be posted in a day or so.
