I'm going to be watching over what happens here, but not directly involved in its development. The fundamental goal is to provide access to Java objects from a scripting language (not limited to PHP, but that's a very common scenario). The classic use case is "I've got my business logic encapsulated in a JavaBean or an EJB -- can I access it from a PHP page in a manner that is portable across app servers?". There are a couple of half-baked solutions available for PHP in particular, but we need something stronger than that to make web app resources available to scripting pages in the general case. This JSR isn't really about creating web application frameworks in PHP -- such a thing would be pretty much orthagonal to the JSR goal. > FYI, Van > > Mike Van Riper > mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Craig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
