Hi Jean-Louis unfortunately I was a bit deferred in receiving this mail thread here. So sorry for the delay ;)

This JSR was targeting mainly EE 8 and mostly deployment aspects. I think, with enough momentum, we could try to discuss of add some kind of SPIs to EE 8 through the umbrella JSR. On the other side, when we get a restful container management API, we could also use this to plugin with any kind of configuration solution. Of course, my hope is that we will be able to have a configuration solution in place that is mature and flexible enough to effectively support these EE scenarios. Application configuration basically is partially covered by Deltaspike as of now, but I think more features would be useful. As of now there is no good place to do a standardization for app config. I will try to revitalize the configuration stream in CDI, so we could at least end up in some kind of EE8 specification appendix. As of now this seems to be the maximum we can do on a standardization level. On the other side I think, Apache is a great chance to further evolve the concepts, so we will have a good chance, that we can standardize them at a later point. > Even if Mark and Gerhard are also part of DeltaSpike, that'd be great to > avoid having many different configuration projects in Apache and then > splitting forces. > Probably also a good opportunity to move commons-configuration from > proper/dormant. > > Jean-Louis Fair enough.
