That sounds pretty cool. What do you think Mark?Hi,
I would like to know if it would be helpful to have a RMI class server.
Currently, I see two potential usage:
* deployment: currently, we need to be carefull about the exceptions nested within
DeploymentException otherwise we will get a ClassNotFoundException. As a matter of
fact, by installing a security manager and with the correct policy file, "local
deployments" work properly. Indeed, as the ClassLoader used under the cover by
Configuration is a URLClassLoader, marshalled classes are "properly" annotated.
* IIOP: here I guess that we will need to download the stubs somehow to the clients.
If you think that this is a good thing to have, then I am happy to get it working
I think it would bee cool to have remote class loading, but I'm not sure about using the RMI wire protocol for this. I would expand the OpenEJB protocol to support remote class loading, and I believe IIOP has special hooks to do remote class loading javax.rmi.CORBA.Util, which in OpenEJB delegates to org.openejb.corba.util.UtilDelegateImpl.
