Quite likely SQLJ is on life support. Reading JDBC is almost as easy as reading SQLJ. Besides, SQLJ apparently only adapts to a few patterns, not the broad spectrum that J2EE is trying to support.

(Cynical view: It was invented by Oracle + IBM, not the J-bit heads. The latter would never ack that any database company (either IBM or Oracle) could contribute something useful - just look at their attempts to reinvent XA.)
