Hi Rickard
I am following this thread for a long time --- I had one question --- Dont u
think that when u are using a protocol based apporach u gain more
portability as compared to API based apporach --- if u use an API based
approach like what u are saying keep the class files of the other vendors
server in ur classpath -- hey desent that mean that ur components are using
the other vendors class files directly and loosing their portability ---
what happens if the 2nd server changes???
This solution is only feasible if there is a standard interface defined for
the communication and the servers communicate through that interface ...
cheers
Ana

.. I am an EJB-vendor (and an EJB-developer, and an EJB-theorist, and a
pragmatic person, etc.), but whenever I post here my opinions are always
in this order:
1. What's best for EJB in the long term
2. What's best for my own server, EJBoss
3. What's best for all other vendors' servers

1 and 2 never change place.

And..

.. this is the core of an API-based solution, and..

.. I agree with this :-)
