But I think the WS-* set is really following the earlier CORBA ideas (COSSecurity, COSPersistence, etc.). You also have to consider that WS-* is not under a single umbrella as was CORBA. If a vendor doesn't like WS-Policy they can start a competing spec elsewhere for example. --- In [email protected], Jan Algermissen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Jun 15, 2005, at 12:43 PM, Daniel Feygin wrote: > > > POJO is making a revival, because all the complexity is being > > transferred from user code to deployment environment. > > Hmm...I thought POJO is increasingly attractive because it throws out > complexity (J2EE) where it is not needed.
