Only partially true. They share common SPECIFICATIONS, and SOME
implementations are derived from the Sun reference. There are also clean
room implementations. Containers are not like J2ME, J2SE and J2EE. Those
are specifications. Containers are like each vendor's JVM/JDK. Those are
implementations.
In any event, since everyone agrees that the potential for multiple
containers is important, I'm not sure that it is productive to churn on the
subject of a single container. If there happens to be a convergence of a
set of container implementations, great. But that doesn't change the issue
that containers are not the specifications. They are the implementations.
That is more of a proper analogy with Java. Yes, most Java implementations
are based upon Sun's code, but not all. And my application couldn't care
less.
