We don't need EJB Server representation. There are already 2+ OSS EJB projects out there (I know, I host the CVS and mailing lists for one of them on my machines...JBoss). Not having it directly under the ASF, isn't doing us any harm at all because you can simply download the EJB servers from other locations. Big deal. Also, in my personal opinion only, EJB is a nasty buzz word that IS managers like to throw around. Only about 1% of the entire web application arena really needs it, the rest of the people who are developing on it are kidding themselves and wasting time/resources. It is entirely possible to have 100% stable servlet web applications without the need for the bulk that EJB adds. I wish that more people would wake up and more correctly evaluate the technologies they are using for the applications they are building instead of simply going along with Sun's marketing engine blindfolded. Yes, Sun does make good technologies, but not everyone has to use them for all cases. -jon
