Peter,
I.e. My simple assertion is that an API should seemingly be as easy to use
remotely as locally. Glue is, RMI not.
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 ;)
Could you at least agree with me that RemoteException is aweful for
same-JVM method calls?
- Paul
