JXTA is an attempt to define peer-peer based protocols. (http://jxta.org) RMI is client-server and so not the best way of doing peer based messaging. You might find JMS useful instead for publish / subscribe or queue based communication. Publish / subscribe is very peer based. James

Hi Jeff I share your oppinions on EJB. Whenever I ask developers why they are using EJB the common answer I get from people is 'well I get transactions for free'. When most of the time they don't do 2 phase commit with their database anyways. And all that extra work just to get 'acceptable'

I agree Jeff; though for such a smart container to work in an elegant way I'd prefer to develop the beans in a non-distributed manner and the smart container do the rest - distributing what it thinks makes sense - along the EOB / AltRMI lines. Not code to a server side componet API like EJB.
