believe that any annotations or fancier tools will be necessary.
Are you suggesting type safety is NOT a necessary language feature in
distributed code?

I have to agree with Peter on this. It's easy to make a good enough
solution using generic, particularly if you're developing services within a
single safe environment. E.g. At your company where all services are
written by people on your team and hosted on a private company subnet.

Not at all.

My understanding is that GigaSpaces is a commercial product, although a

The argument for generics in remote interfaces is to reduce boilerplate

Is there another way to reduce the boilerplate code, using annotations
perhaps?

I believe an annotation that flags ASM to post process the byte code

Then we can say, yes Generics are supported in remote code, you just
need to add this @RuntimeServiceCheck annotation.
Perhaps one of the following annotions:
