Così come si era verificato per la JSR-330, anche al Final Approval Ballot per la Java Specification Request 299 (JSR-299) non sono mancati i malumori di IBM...

The current lack of portability between JSR 330 and JSR 299 applications will create significant difficulties for the community. Application developers who use patterns based on JSR 330 injection annotations and proprietary injection mechanisms will experience integration issues when taking advantage of JSR 299 contexts associated with JSF. Insufficient attention has been paid to these details in the development of these specifications and this will reflect poorly on the Java EE platform as a whole. Although IBM previously voted in support of both JSR 299 and 330 with the clear expectation that the "SE/EE injection programming model must be aligned into a single extensible programming model that defines a core set of functionality for SE and extends that with EE functionality", this has not yet been achieved. IBM will continue to support both expert groups in the development of a single integrated and extensible injection programming model.
