keyword in that sentence - "seemingly" ;) If it seems as easy to use locally as it is remotely then you will have people treat it like a local object. This is *extremely* bad if you are trying to build a fault tolerant infrastrcutre. The more strongly typed and more easily that tools (ie compilers and whatnot) can tell me I am doing stupid things (like treating remote objects as locals) the better IMHO. With RMI as it is now you have to make a choice to program poorly. With the GLUE model you have to make a choice to program properly. Hence why I like RMIs model ;) -- Cheers, Pete -------------------------------- These aren't the droids you're looking for.
