If I can put my 2c in on this, You should also be worried about the future
of MS and ASP.
They look like support for Java will be dropped, They are re-organizing
lines of business not to
mention that they seem to be making XML a big part of their new Web
Paradigm. This
makes you wonder about the future of ASP or it should.

I agree 100%. If JavaSoft wants to put forward a standard, they need to be
timely. I am becoming very concerned about the future of jsp.
