a. It very much seems that you are assuming that all your clients are Java clients as you dont support any other form of communication. Hence the question are all EJB clients written in Java? If not then what are our options.
b. So to connect to another application, the vendor would have to come up with a "connector API" and re-invent another wire protocol to talk to his application. OK.
Rickard, it really seems to me that support for IIOP would help a lot in both the above cases. I wont even begin to say that i understand all the issues that you and Jonathan are discussing. But it seems to be standardisation/implementation complexity issue than anything else. Forgive me if I have an application end point perspective. But i just want to remind you of the concerns raised by Andrew. They are real.

Atul.
