Even though Jini doesn't help a lot it also doesn't get in the way. If you wanted to ship documents around they don't have to be XML. They could be an optimised form of DOM that is serialisable (e.g. Integration Objects from C24 www.c24.biz). I know a lot of folks using Jini and JavaSpaces with IO from C24 in which they get the best of all worlds. Don't know if John Davies monitors this forum but maybe he will have a thing or six to say.

Because Jini is not targeted at solving any particular type of problem directly, a lot of people experience a pretty significant startup barrier. There are, however, tools and libraries available in projects under http://jini.dev.java.net that help with getting started with Jini and with building specific types of applications. The http://www.jini.org site has pointers to a wide array of educational information about Jini. If all you want to do is ship XML around, you might wonder how Jini will make it easier for you to do that. The answer is that Jini is not targeted at helping you easily ship XML around. It enables you to easily choose to not ship XML around. If you need to ship XML, then because Jini is a Java based platform, you can use the Java tools available for shipping XML around. The JERI stack provides a plugable endpoint and invocation layer so that you can make native java code interface into arbitrary protocols, such as those that ship XML around.
