Oracle claims to be using WSRP for just that:

ERVIEW.WSRP.JSR168.HTML
Yes indeed I agree WSRP is an interesting integration technology, but it does have a cost : performance. Doing remote HTTP connections with XML encoding / decoding will (probably) never be as efficient as a simple local method call.
Yes I didn't want to say anything negative about the Oracle implementation, because for me the design is quite impressive.
But I can't help thinking about the performance hit for all of the encoding and decoding of simple method calls.
We should start looking at WSRP and Charon now, and try to build it into the Jetspeed architecture as soon as possible.
But I do think it would be interesting for Jetspeed 2 to be able to talk both WSRP and Portlet API (and maybe also it's current API for legacy portlets) in order to offer the maximum compatibility.
But thats a discussion best for the other list (jetspeed-dev)
