well, the web tier was just an example. isn't an ejb from another
application is just as bad from the classloader perspective? I don't
really see the difference. I would go as far as to limit local clients to
the same application and require inter-app communication to be via a remote
interface. I don't think there are too many apps using that kind of
communication where the serialization overhead (the only thing that cannot
be optimized intraVM without violating the spec) would be a problem but of
course I might be wrong.
Could any of the container implementors comment on this? After all, it's
your life that will be messed up if our assessment is correct ;-).

See above.
