+1000! :) I really don't understand why the specs try to be so application server heavy (then again, most of the expert groups have folks like IBM on them, who sell application servers). It doesn't seem that tough to do most of these things outside the realm of one of these "fat" servers. It would be great if these specifications could just say "as long as I have these particular services available to me, I can run" and then we just come up with a nice pluggable services platform (kind of like how Geronimo is set up I guess).
