Why,

Now I have to rewrite any service where I use the Transaction API so that the JavaSpace can own it. Oh while I am at it all my Leases out the door, I cant even use the Entry as a lookup mechanism to find my UIDescriptors.
Why don't you just (re)create something called  Linda
change Entry to Tuple, call it  mmcgrady.local.Linda

The changes you would have to make are not the point. Either the suggestions are good or bad. If they are good, the changes should happily be made. If not, then they should be dumped. I don't think fairly large architectural and design decisions should be made on the basis of inconvenience, although it certainly is a factor. I realize you are a stakeholder too.

If you think things are just perfect, then you have a different take on the situation then i do. I don't denigrate your position. Please don't trivialize mine.

I repeat my assertion of yesterday. Perhaps we should first outline what we think are the problems, challenges, etc. facing JINI/RIVER and then move to solutions.
