Re: [jca-dev] Name Vote

Arjan,

This isn't about
other specifications not qualifying as architectures, but rather about
what the absence of the word in the name for this spec would imply,

"Jakarta
Connectors" sounds like a collection of connector implementations.
"Jakarta
Connector Architecture" sounds like a specification that defines how
to build, integrate & use connectors.

There would be
similar objections to renaming JPA to "Jakarta Persisters" and
so forth.

"Jakarta
Connector Architecture" is the obvious name based on what the user
base is already familiar with and anything else will even further distance
it from the wealth of documentation, examples & tutorials that have
been created over the years for the Java EE Connector Architecture.  This
is something that I don't think we have the time or resources to replicate
and it would be worth it to maintain this link even if we had to choose
a suboptimal name to do it, although in my opinion "Jakarta Connector
Architecture" is the better name anyway.

Let's allow the
voting to continue and see where this ends up.  It looks really close
at this point, so the remaining votes will make a big difference.

Hi James,

It was discussed in the issue, but still
wondering. Why according to you is JCA an architecture, but JPA is an API?
And JSF and JMS are neither? Why are JASPIC and JACC not architectures?

Not trying to be clever here, but just
like to make it clear why you think of all the Jakarta EE specs, JCA is
one of the few to qualify to be called an architecture, while the other
specs don't qualify to be called that? What's the difference?

Kind regards,
Arjan Tijms
