+1 From me... The only caveat being that there is an awful lot of codec and infrastructure type stuff that it makes sense to share between a client and a broker written in the same language (i.e. most of the stuff that is currently in java/common for Java (and I'm sure C++ has similar). IMHO the Java client should have more in common functionality and release schedule wise with the C++ client than it does with the Java Broker... otherwise what we will get are two divergent products: a Java Broker/Client and a C++ Broker/Client (with Ruby/Python et al being left somewhat in the shade... however we've had this discussion before and I remember being in the minority :-) -- Rob > > This might be a bit yak shavey though.
