Talend joins JCP and JSR-339

This week Talend has joined Java Community Process (JCP) and JSR-339 (JAX-RS 2.0) Expert Group (EG) with myself acting as the company representative in this EG.

This is a good news for us working on Apache CXF as it's another vote of confidence from Talend in CXF continuing positioning itself as the best-of-breed web services framework for developing WS and REST compliant and robust service endpoints and consumers which just work.

Talend has a history of supporting open source projects and communities. Joining JCP and supporting JAX-RS 2.0 specification is another step in that direction, simply because JAX-RS 2.0 will become important for Apache CXF users building RESTful services.

Another reason is that Talend has a lot of experience in data-integration technologies. Talend tooling is powerful and impressive which will be a subject of another post. REST and data are good matches. Many interesting opportunities will arise for exposing data as RESTful endpoints, letting people search and link to the data of interest. It's natural Talend would like to get involved in JAX-RS 2.0.
