Apologies guys. I was only using a URL to the file as an example of a type of reference to a file. It might as well have been a String containing the path relative to JBOSS_HOME, or a java.io.File object.
For the remote case we simply can't rely on the driver jar being available to the remote machine via the filesystem. Especially on Windows this is way too onerous a pre-requisite for admins to have to setup. However for the local case I think this could work great. I think Dimitris' template example would work fine when we could guarantee access through the filesystem. I think to solve the remote case we are going to have tackle the generic problem I outlined: Pass in a reference to some binary data on machine A --> get a reference to that binary data on machine B I think Mazz's "fileDrop" facility should be able to provide this, when we just have one machine B. Is this correct? If so then maybe further down the line JBoss/Remoting could support this operation itself, and for multiple remote machines.
