Vinay, Related to our need for a) JNDI lookup and b) server redirection............
Take a look org.apache.commons.altrmi.client.AltrmiFactoryFactory. A default impl of that interface could have a set of registered 'providers' that could could construct or reuse an AltrmiFactory for a given factory-string. Those factory strings could be like: altrmi:object-stream:hostname:1234 altrmi:custom-stream:hostname:3333 altrmi:rmi:hostname The default impl of AltrmiFactoryFactory would use the existing AltrmiFactory impls, an alternate container like EOB could use it's own.
