Yes, please do. I think that you will find that the granularity of the components usually associated with Metro is somewhat finer than you may think. If you are talking about large systems (which webservices are from our perspective), then it is up to you make it a reality. I.e. You can create a webservice running in your local machine communicating with any other computer. If you make the codebase (i.e the required Jars++) available in a so called Repository, reachable from somewhere else, you can load the service in a running Metro instance elsewhere, without shutting that server down. Likewise, the configuration of that web service can be loaded from a http server remotely, and hence be shared between your home instance and the other one. If you are talking about your application acting as a mobile agent, jumping from JVM to JVM upon need, you are in the wrong territory. I haven't checked for quite some years, but there is (or used to be) a product called Voyager by ObjectSpace that could do this. A quick search seems to indicate that ObjectSpace is no more, and Voyager is available at http://www.recursionsw.com/mobile_agents.htm Cheers Niclas -- +------//-------------------+ / http://www.bali.ac / / http://niclas.hedhman.org / +------//-------------------+ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
