EJBoss 2.0 (to be announced at O'Reilly conference. Be there) now
supports dynamic downloading of all classes the client may need. JNDI
classes, EJBoss client implementation, EJB-bean interfaces. No client
installation required. It's very neat.

Good point. We are working on a solution for JDK1.2.2 VM's as well.
JDK1.1 won't be supported though.

Absolutely. Both Magnus' work on Orion and the ObjectSpace guys are
great sources of inspiration for me in my current work on EJBoss. Lots
of kudos to them :-)
