Hi Tim. I agree with your point of view, we've been trying to avoid EJBs as much as possible. But there's one thing I don't understand.

I think a remote proxy is a great way to make remote calls, shielding the developer from the complexity of it all. The recent discussion about AltRMI has shown that there's a lot of interest in using proxies, but it was Sun's implementation (the Remote* stuff) that was flawed. Un saludo, Alex.
