Ballot durationNov 29, 2016 to Dec 12, 2016

Special Vote Instructions

Dear EC members,

We are reaching out to you to request your approval of the continuation of JSR 371 in a renewal ballot.

The main goal of JSR 371 is to provide a standardized action-based Model-View-Controller framework.

JSR 371 has successfully completed two Early Draft releases, and, while its current specification leads have been diverted to other tasks, the expert group has continued to be very active and has made considerable progress in addressing open issues. The expert group discussions can be viewed here: https://java.net/projects/mvc-spec/lists/jsr371-experts/archive

When Oracle recently announced plans to discontinue this JSR, we heard from many impassioned community members that they would like to see the work of this JSR continue.

Oracle therefore plans to seek a new specification lead to whom this JSR can be transferred. In the meantime, we request that the renewal ballot for this JSR be approved so that the JSR will not be terminated.

On 2016-12-05 SouJava voted Yes with the following comment:
We believe this specification is very important to the community (even after being dropped from JEE8 scope). But our perception is that it has developed less than expected / desired.

We'd like to echo the sentiment we believe the community support for this could carry it forward.  Further, if this happens, it could serve as a potential role model for other JSRs.

On 2016-12-12 IBM voted Abstain with the following comment:
Since MVC 1.0 has been dropped from the Java EE 8 plans IBM respectively abstains from voting on the JSR renewal ballot.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 2016-12-12 Red Hat voted Abstain with the following comment:
Since MVC has been dropped from EE 8 and there appear to be no clear plans yet to take it through to a standard, Red Hat votes to Abstain at this stage. If a route to a standard becomes clearer then we'd be happy to reconsider at a future opportunity.

On 2016-12-08 Keil, Werner voted Yes with the following comment:
If this JSR could be driven by an interested party outside the Java EE platform (but embracing it) similar to the likes of Portlet standard or Portlet Bridge, I guess there are enough use cases for it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 2016-11-29 Grimstad, Ivar voted Yes with the following comment:
I believe there still s strong community support for this JSR. Continuation as a standalone JSR is an excellent alternative given that it is dropped from the scope of JSR 366.
