From the specification: "The JavaSpaces system design is strongly influenced by Linda systems.." "JavaSpaces systems are similar to Linda systems in that they store collections of information for future computation and are driven by value-based lookup. They differ in some important ways..." What you seem to expect to be a Java implementation of Linda system will not be "the JavaSpaces" any more, but a beast that differs from JavaSpaces in many of he points that make JS different from a Linda system.
