Humm, I'm not sure what you're trying to say/ask. Widespread adoption,
"happens". Widespread "success" only occurs through validation. That's what
I'm waiting to see... I've stayed away from web services because of the
absolute rule of the W3C including the commercial influences and because of the
total cost benefits that I don't see as managable.

Humm, I guess my choice of words is poor. I'm not suggesting that web services
should be compared to Jini as something of equal capability. I'm trying to say
that choosing Jini doesn't keep you from using web services. Anne's argument
seems to suggest that choosing Jini somehow limits your vendor independence or
somehow keeps you from using web services. That's simply not the case from a
technology perspective. But, those kinds of comments will drive people away,
and I consider them to be devisive in nature, and I'm trying to understand what
the complete issue is.
