92 Localizable Text
Description: Localizable Text is the infrastructure necessary to translate language-neutral information (in an object) from anywhere in a distributed network.
Status: Withdrawn
Reason: Both JSR-92 and JSR-150 address the issue of 'distributed internationalization' in the J2EE world. JSR-92 is somewhat client-centric in nature while JSR-150 attempts to provide a server-side solution. The progress of JSR-92 is rather slow, and some of the issues raised in JSR-92 can be addressed more elegantly by the technology advocated in JSR-150. The existence of two separate JSRs for the same issue of distributed internationalization can generate unnecessary confusion. Hence we feel JSR-92 should be withdrawn from the JSR space altogether. We will incorporate relevant portions of JSR-92 in JSR-150.
Latest Stage:

126 Distributed Page Assembly
Description: This specification defines a standard application model and architecture for distributed page assembly within the J2EE framework.
Status: Withdrawn
Reason: Initial discussions for the JSR 126 EG were deferred when they realized that a viable solution in the proposed direction, which is complimentary to JSR 128, required advancements in the underlying technology (Edge Side Includes). At the time, it seemed that discussion about ESI-related standards were sufficiently active that they could wait for the next version of the standard. However, those discussions seemed to stall as attentions were directed to early adoption and other topics. If ESI standards are revised at a later date, then perhaps the objectives of JSR 126 could be pursued through a new JSR.
Latest Stage:
Withdrawn Effective: 2003-11-10
Spec Lead: Rajesh Agarwalla, IBM
Spec Lead: Steve Ims, IBM
 
 
 
128 JESI - JSP Tag Library for Edge Side Includes (ESI)

134 JavaTM Game Profile
Description: Defines a Java 2 Micro Edition Profile for the purposes of game development targeting high-end consumer game devices and desktops.
Status: Withdrawn
Reason: The Spec Lead has chosen to withdraw this JSR. It was determined that the needs of games developers were best served by moving to a pure open source model for game client technologies. This changes in strategy will allow the broadest participation by the game development community, and will focus the energies of the community on timely solutions that address a rapidly changing technology landscape. The Spec Lead wishes to thank the Java Community and the Game Developers who supported and showed interest in this effort.

162 Portlet API
Description: The Portlet API specification defines an API for components being aggregated in web applications like portals. It includes portlets, portlet container behavior, portlet windows, events, persistent storage and portlet services.
Status: Withdrawn
Reason: Portlet API As there is very significant overlap between JSRs 162 & 167, Sun and IBM have reached a mutual agreement regarding the proposals. We have now reached a point where we feel that we have a mutually acceptable new combined JSR proposal, which we now wish to seek endorsement of from the existing supporters of JSR 162 and 167.

173 Streaming API for XML
Description: The Streaming API for XML (StAX) is a Java based API for pull-parsing XML.
Status: Withdrawn
Reason: Since version 1.0, JSR 173 StAX API has been distributed as both a standalone technology and part of the Java SE. The API has been stable without any significant changes since then and the need to use newer releases of the StAX API with shipping releases of Java SE has mostly disappeared in recent years.

In accordance with JCP 2.10 Process Document, 3.3.1.4 Platform inclusion, we are announcing the end of JSR 173 StAX Standalone distribution. After MR5, StAX 1.4, the technology that JSR 173 defines will be delivered as a part of the Java SE solely. Future changes in the StAX API will be defined through the Platform JSR.

The subsumption of the StAX API into the Platform JSR does not change any mechanisms defined in StAX. The service provider interfaces are the same except that they will then be directly specified in the Platform JSR. Deployment of alternative implementations of the StAX APIs will continue to be supported.

183 Web Services Message Security APIs
Description: This JSR is to define a standard set of APIs for Web services message security. The goal of this JSR is to enable applications to construct secure SOAP message exchanges.
Status: Withdrawn
Reason: Web services security (WS-Security) has become the defacto standard to secure web services messages. Lack of a standard in Java to write to these APIs, hasn't caused any interoperability or integration issues across vendor platforms. So, this JSR was withdrawn.

189 JavaTM 3D API 1.4
Description: This JSR will add new large scale funtionality to Java 3D. Possible technologies for inclusion include programmable shading and advanced rendering techniques.
Status: Withdrawn
Reason: The changes to the Java 3D API as originally envisioned by JSR-189 were quite significant, and were planned as part of a major API release, for which we had planned to form an expert group under the JSR. Due to changes in the nature of the project development, this effort was discontinued in 2002, a few months after the JSR was filed. JSR-189 was left open as a place-holder, but it no longer makes sense to leave it open. At the time of withdrawal, the Java 3D API was a community source project on java.net, where all new development had happened over the past 18 months. They were actively developing the 1.4 API release with help from the Java 3D community on java.net. This release was a much more modest undertaking than was originally planned, and all new API changes are being designed with public input. As such they closed this JSR, and did Java 3D 1.4 as a maintenance release under the JCP.

192 JAINTM Service Creation Environment - JavaTM PART
Description: This is the specification for the JavaTM API to support and simplify the creation of portable telecommunication services delivered primarily to the JAINTM Service Logic Execution Environment (JAINTM SLEE).
Status: Withdrawn
Reason: There had not been much progress on this JSR since quite some time. The draft was floated for Expert Group review but there was no response even after several reminders. They then decided not to go ahead with this activity and hence requested the PMO to mark this JSR 192 as WITHDRAWN.

Description: This JSR updates the JMX and JMX Remote APIs for version 6.0 of the Java(TM) Platform, Standard Edition. It will improve usability of existing features and add new functionality.
Status: Withdrawn
Reason: JSR 255 specified changes to javax.management.* which were subsequently abandoned due to lack of resources, and were not included in the Java SE 6 or 7 Platforms. (The changes were distinct from other changes to javax.management.* specified by JSRs 3, 160, and 336 for inclusion in the Java SE 6 and 7 Platforms.)

358 A major revision of the Java Community Process
Description: This JSR will make a variety of changes and adjustments to the Java Community Process, revising the Process Document, the EC Standing Rules, and the JSPA.

Reason: At the January 2016 meeting of the JCP Executive Committee (EC) the EC was informed that Oracle Legal had advised that no changes should be made to the JSPA or to JSR licensing models while litigation is ongoing (see the public minutes for more details).

Consequently the EC decided at the March meeting to withdraw (close) JSR 358. Another JSR ('JCP.next.5') will be opened to work on changes that can be implemented by modifying only the Process Document, and we hope and expect that we will be able to pick up the more substantive changes that were being considered for JSR 358 as soon as the litigation is completed.
