Has J2EE Hit a Fork In the Road? (SD Times)

No one has ever really believed in the ?write once, run anywhere? credo. But the final nail in the coffin may be BEA Systems Inc.?s upcoming new application framework, code-named ?Cajun,? as well as the extension of J2EE-compliant application servers by other vendors. The platform-independent view of Java is fading into the woodwork very quickly, and threatens to take what was conceived as a standards-based solution into very different proprietary directions.

The article seems to be mostly flamebait - that a server supports something on top of J2EE doesn't mean it doesn't also support J2EE applications. Also, it ignores the fact that for the entire history of Java application servers, they've been woefully incompatible with each other, so it's not like the situation is getting any worse.
