Hi Rickard,
I just yesterday finished the chapter in the EJB 2.0 spec on
support for distribution and interoperability. Although the 2.0 spec
isn't final, it seems at first glance as though the proponents of
interoperability through IIOP have carried the day. (I would love to
see a response from the spec writers regarding the points made in
the EJB-interest mailing list thread "Does IIOP matter.")
Assuming that we intend to be spec-compliant, there are
implications of this for transactions, the naming service, security,
and of course we need to actually provide an IIOP proxy.
What's your take on all this?
