Hi Patricia, The basic rule is, if you're the first person doing it, then you get to chose. And as you say, the result will be in a format that everyone can read and see. I assume that your "left to myself" bit describes a fairly standard way of doing this kind of thing. In which case, I'd say go with that.
On a vaguely related note. I agree with you that a distributed transaction manager is a more useful (necessary?) addition than a distributed Java Space, so I took the liberty of creating a Jira for tracking it's issues, notes, thoughts etc. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RIVER-394 I hope that's okay.
