With this article I was really hoping for some counter points of how JEE is doing some new and exciting things. Unfortunately, it looks like the only innovation was to throw some of the dead weight off the back of the truck. I can understand how corporate developers (i.e. can't use open source and it needs a support plan) would be happy about the lighter alternative approaches. I just don't see how given the whole technical landscape, that JEE is still a viable front runner.

What? Jee is a open standard, there are open source and closed source implementations of that standard.... The idea being applications are portable between different vendors. If anything it's even more "open source" than most open source frameworks.
