I tend to agree that the JINI model makes things easier to both implement and understand. And as you point out, it is somewhat tedious to implement the Service and client code, and that could be hidden into a Merlin Facility, BUT once again, it requires an Availability contract between the container and the components, or components can not have graceful fallbacks if Service is no longer available.
