One of the oldest JSR which has started in 2003 and not yet reached the final stage. I still doubt whether there is an active group working towards it's 1.0 spec release. Many of the comments from the approval forum says the interface level were not sufficient. There are quite a few XML databases in the market. Except XQuery there are no similar interaction layer. Data Direct is one such company trying to standardize this but in a wrong direction. As a key member in JSR-225, Data Direct might take a strong step towards its release.
Even after 6 long years, the specification fails to come to the center stage, there are chances that people might forgot XQJ. Whoever dealing with XML databases now with their own proprietary API will stick with them. Rewriting them would cost and might affect the stability. Quick releases in specification would increase the chances of stability and feature packed by early feed backs from industry.
I could find one open source implementation on proposed 1.0 spec is saxon.
Though there are chances for improvement, I'm waiting to see the XQJ spec in the limelight soon.
