The other solutions presented thus far sound great. Obviously the devil is in the details, but in our situation, we have found using an SQL storage engine to be most useful. It does no do RPC per se, but we have found we can "wakeup" the other side to do something using a simple http call or trigger or queue. We examined J2EE and high end transaction systems and found they had many more cons (overhead, maintenance, training, speed, learning) than pros. Since the objects on the different systems might view the content in different ways, SQL tends to be more flexible. We simply created different object types that access the SQL and present it in an appropriate manner to that system. When creating a large system distributed system, reporting is also important, and SQL combined with Zope does wonders.
