You're talking about (more evenly) distributed systems (a.k.a. P2P)? I think you're still going to need a delineation of roles -- some nodes are going to be thicker than others. You don't want to start up an entire JBoss stack just to run JNotepad (fictional). Likewise, I'd imagine you don't want all of your client side applications running in the same JVM. It seems to me that a measure of fault tolerance is worth the extra memory use (by starting up separate VMs) in this case (although I'm interested in arguments to the contrary). It seems to me that when you're designing a node in a distributed system, you start out by defining the role/functionality. Then take the most minimal JBoss kernel. Then start stacking on functionality until you have what you want. What makes this better than client-server, IMO, is that all nodes (should) share a common architecture. That way, server-side code can easily be pushed to the client for added performance. So JNotepad uses a Web-service based remote spellchecker. You like it? OK, download spellchecker.sar, and any "server" modules that it depends on. What makes this worse than client-server is that it doesn't exist yet, AFAIK :) ... - Matt -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:jboss-development-admin@;lists.sourceforge.net]On Behalf Of James Higginbotham Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 4:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [JBoss-dev] JMX on the client side? > I think James had more esoteric plans... > > -danch > Right.. I'm not talking about Jboss proper, I'm speaking of a rich client platform that uses jboss as its service arch kernel.
