Everyone, thank you very much for the dialog. At this point I need to flush out more of our use case and prototype/test some implementations.
As a side note, I've been doing C# for the last 5 years or so and been away from Java. One thing I always missed about the Java space is the community, there's nothing like it. Even just the short dialog everyone has given me here has been invaluable, thanks again! Once I settle in on what works best for us I'll post a wrap-up here just for closure. Jim
