In a series of blog posts here<\/a> and here<\/a>, Compuware’s Andrei Iltchenko writes about incompatibilities between different vendor implementations of J2EE. He works on the OptimalJ<\/a> MDA (Model Driven Architecture)\u00a0 product which generates Java code from language-independent application models. He found unexpected inconsistencies between Sun-certified J2EE application servers, for example:<\/p>\n

When we started testing our code generation modules for J2EE web services on one vendor\u2019s application server, we were in for a big surprise. The application server had a non-XML Schema aware web services stack, which effectively meant no proper support for WS-I Basic Profile. Why wasn\u2019t such a major omission caught by SUN\u2019s compatibility test suite for J2EE 1.4?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I was also surprised by his comments since in general Java\u2019s cross-platform, cross-vendor compatibility strikes me as much better than it was in the early days. No doubt Iltchenko stresses this more than most developers, but note his conclusion:<\/p>\n

With the differences in implementing the same J2EE 1.4 features I described, one should probably start questioning how feasible it would be to maintain a J2EE 1.4 application that needs to run on more than one application server and not be rigged toward a given vendor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
