JSR 311 is making progress…

… and I’m happy. I shared some concerns when it was announced that the JCP was unlikely to come up with an appropriate spec. Sun have just released a (very) early access version of the RI, and having taken a look at the Javadoc, it meets my main criteria: small, simple, and not tied to the servlet spec. I have a couple of questions about verbosity (defaulting really) which I’ll dig in to over the next <however long it takes to find the spare time>, but thus far it’s looking good - both the design and the participation model. Well done Marc, it looks like you’ll prove the cynic in me wrong.

Update - Some quick thoughts:
MultivaluedMap - Seems like something I’ll use outside of ‘rest programming’.

@DefaultValue - Seems to only work when the value it’s defaulting==null. Therefore doesn’t work with URIParams which seem to default to “”. Odd.
