Ryan:
Couple of quick questions:
1. Does Sun encourage ecommercial vendors to develop competing implementations to its own RI? And how does Sun market the API to vendors like BEA who has its own technology called XMLBeans?
2. When will RI 1.1 come out? I can't wait to replace the "ns1" namespace prefix in a marshalled XML document with my own namespace.
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Dennis,
Thanks for your summary of the databinding landscape - I hope people on the list
find it useful. I just have one nit to pick with you on the above statement (I
hope you don't think I'm attacking you - consider this a friendly correction ;8-)
It isn't accurate to say that Sun "abandoned" the architecture of JAXB EA. The
JSR-31 expert group had specific issues with the EA architecture that Sun had
to address. I don't want people to get the impression that the current JAXB
specification is 100% Sun - it was developed in the JCP by a group of companies
& contributors (listed in the acks section of the spec).
Thanks again,
--Ryan
