I need a distributed object framework where objects exist remotely but can, if the client so chooses, be used locally. The client could get the Object by calling for example getReadCopy() which would retrieve a copy of the object and put a read lock on it (idem for getWriteCopy). When the client is finished with the object he then does a releaseReadCopy() or releaseWriteCopy(). The releaseWriteCopy() would also make sure the updated object is copied back to the server. This seems like a natural extension to RMI. Does anyone know of a framework which support this kind of behavior? Where would I start if I wanted to implement something like this myself. I am currently looking at the Avalon project and wondering (as oppossed to "thinking about" because I'm not quite there yet) how it could be used to implement this. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks, Stefaan Nachtergaele
