That sounds like it would work great for a distributed system... in fact, it sounds very similar to the SOA (service-oriented architecture) model Microsoft seems to be pushing recently: http://msdn.microsoft.com/architecture/soa/default.aspx O'Reilly's explanation of SOA: http://webservices.xml.com/pub/a/ws/2003/09/30/soa.html ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
