But you were! saying that Jini should be depending on JavaSpaces and not the other way around as is now the case. Why? Jini is about Service Discovery, and why would a Space implementation be a backbone of that? My argument is that River should have a JavaSpaces implementation that does not require a network setup, as a stepping stone to lower the threshold of River adoption. (The "First Shot is Free" comes to mind.) Cheers Niclas
