On 2009-11-19 Google Inc. voted Yes with no comment.

On 2009-11-30 Apache Software Foundation voted No with the following comment:
The Apache Software Foundation's vote is based on the point of view that this spec lead - Sun - is in violation of the JSPA 

http://www.apache.org/jcp/sunopenletter.html

and therefore shouldn't be allowed to lead other JSRs until the above matter is resolved. 

This vote is not a comment on the technical merits of the JSR.  If not for the issue of the spec lead, the ASF would have otherwise voted "yes".

We were not satisfied with some of the information accompanying this ballot and have informed the Spec Lead.  No technical issues.  It's a good spec.

On 2009-11-30 Keil, Werner voted Yes with the following comment:
While some server-side techniques like Events or Contexts should be better aligned, especially with JSR-299, I understand, several JSRs under JEE6 share this problem. Hoping this might continue in a more consequent matter for EE7+ I nevertheless decide to vote "Yes" here.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 2009-11-30 IBM voted Yes with the following comment:
IBM's vote is based on the technical merits of this JSR and is not a vote on the licensing terms.  IBM supports licensing models that create an open and level playing field by allowing third parties to create independent implementations of Java Specifications and that do not allow individuals or companies to exercise unnecessary control for proprietary advantage.  We support open source as a licensing model for contributions in the JCP, and would hope others will support this direction. This comment is not necessarily directed at the current business or license terms for this JSR, however, it is a statement of IBM's preferred licensing model.
