All to be handled at the classloader level, so I doubt it would affect any existing Jini-based systems or infrastructure, except that PreferredClassLoader might need some upgrading. Might represent a nice showcase for Jini, though, since Jini would seem to me to provide a particularly appropriate/clever way to implement the jsr277 infrastructure. Or did I miss something vital in my skimming? :-) -- This email is [X] bloggable [ ] ask first [ ] private Mike Morris http://mikro2nd.net/ EarthStuff: http://mikro2nd.net/blog/planb/ TechStuff: http://mikro2nd.net/blog/mike/ ----- A day without chillies is a day wasted ------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Getting Started: http://www.jini.org/wiki/Category:Getting_Started Community Web Site: http://jini.org jini-users Archive: http://archives.java.sun.com/archives/jini-users.html Unsubscribing: email "signoff JINI-USERS" to [email protected]
