I'll grant you that what we have is a tad more complicated than you have shown in the example you supplied, but I'd like to see that the general features match with what we have done so far. The chief difference as far as I can see is that we have generated proxies to make things look like normal java objects. Your interfaces do not illustrate an example usage of the interfaces, so I'll guess you intend both normal java usage and a reflection-like method.invoke(..) interface > * Invocation: represents the call > * InvocationContext: represents the context information like security id, > transaction id etc. We are mulling choices here but are likely to do the same. > * Invoker: the thing that "executes" the Invocation - can be async or sync. > * InvocationListener: The call back when running async invocations to notify > that call has completed > > The reason for this architecture is that it would allow you to reliably scale > up as you are no longer tied to the single-thread per call model and all > sorts of goodies become apparent. We are not currently tied to any threading model. At least I think we are not. We can lump multiple threads on the client side together to call the server through the same altrmi connection. I think you are referring to server-side though in the context of one thread multiplexing though connections.. > > Anyways I just thought I would drop a few thoughts :) keep em up dude... -ph __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
