With the terminology voting we just did a simple vote on the java.net mailing list ;)

Will, Doodle polls allows that. AFAIK you can also restrict multiple choice answers to EG. 2 or 3. Ask Heather/PMO how they use it, I believe it's free and we used it at some point for decisions in

My understanding is that we're not supposed to use any third-party polling service, and I'm not aware that we have an internal one, so it would be great if someone else could set up the poll --

Actually I think groups.io even has a vote feature, but it does not seem enabled for JavaEE.

Maybe Will who started the thread can use either Doodle (I know his PMO colleagues use that a lot e.g. to find F2F locations etc.) or something else with alternatives that comply with Oracle's Java

JASPIC was alternatively called JASPI and JASPIC, talking about confusion :O EE as abbreviation should be okay. It's either Java EE or EE, but never J2EE anymore or JEE :P But yeah, let's start a vote

So I guess we need some kind of voting for the different proposals so that we can decide on the most popular acronym. like https://www.easypolls.net/ or https://www.poll-maker.com/ (these allow

Whether "Java EE" or simply "EE" I assume, Bill and others have a strict opinion on that, but your point is, that sometimes acronyms get so long and bulky, it's easier to just use the entire

Why not just "EE Security"? Few characters shorter than "Spring Security" even, and nobody really feels the need to abbreviate that as far as I know ;)

In that case to be fully correct it would have to be JavaEESECAPI ;-)

I prefer SECAPI, as it easily makes the link with the original long name.

I guess compared to JASPIC it is not so bad either;-) The majority of Java EE JSRs JTA, JPA, JMS, JSP or JSF prefer short 3-4 character ones, but e.g. "Servlets" I don't think they really got anything

What about JSECAPI then?

Has anybody ever argued that JSP JSF sounded too much like JavaScript?;-) The only issue compared to those could be that "JS" in the Java and JCP context often stands for "Java Server" but then Java

Sure JSON-P also has the problem that "JSON with Padding" uses the exact same acronym in this case. There isn't even anybody tracking the 100k or more JavaScript APIs that come and go on a regular

I agree. Anything with 'JS' sounds very JavaScript'ish to my ears. --David

IMO SECAPI sounds like some position in the US Armed Forces (like SecNAV, many also outside the US might know it from NCIS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_the_Navy) There

JSA sounds good to me. -- Java Champion, JCP EC/EG Member, JUG Leader

SECAPI sounds good to me. Clearer than JSA. Regards, Guillermo González de Agüero
