Define compatible? In what specific areas must River be compatible with RTJ? 
Serialization? Where? Can you be specific? Apologies, but I'm having a hard 
time parsing through your statements since they are somewhat vague to me. Can 
you enumerate exactly what River capabilities need to be 'compatible' with 1.5? 
The entire stack? Portions of it?

How so? Are you saying that the network is reliable enough to deliver your 
request/response in a guaranteed way? Have you developed a specific protocol 
that is part of the JERI stack that ensure your transport has some real time 
context? Is River involved in this (other than from a configuration point of 
view), or is it similar to whats described in this paper: 
http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/PDF/RT-POA.pdf

This statement has a ton of hidden implications. River-like functionality? This 
implies to me that you are doing River (Jini) like things but not using River. 
Is that right? 

JavaSpaces and RT in a network context? What does that mean?
