No, there is old veritable standard called CORBA. Also, MS have DCOM. In addition, various flavours of RPC, HTTP, FTP, telnet or even raw scokets are valid ways of providing a distributed architecture. > Do any linux distributions offer the same breadth of patterns > found in EJBs? This question does not compute. How does "linux" have a design pattern? It's an operating system, not a programming language. YOu build environments over the top of it that might provide distributed set of functionality. For example, you install Oracle 9i, which has an EJB server (derived from Orion) and a CORBA interface, so you get two distributed systems for the (very expensive) price of one. -- Justin Couch http://www.vlc.com.au/~justin/ Java Architect & Bit Twiddler http://www.yumetech.com/ Author, Java 3D FAQ Maintainer http://www.j3d.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- "Humanism is dead.
