Re: [ecf-dev] SharedObjects over XMPP

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mario, Luca, and Pasquale,

Thanks so much for doing this summary...it looks excellent .  In fact, 
with some additions and minor tweaks I would like to add it as an ECF 
wiki page at

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Communication_Framework_Project

And then link to it from the FAQ, other docs, etc.  Would this be OK 
with all of you?  It would make a tremendous community contribution.  
Note it would have to be under the Eclipse Public License (as all 
materials in the eclipse wiki are).  Welcome to the ECF team!

Documentation contributions are more than welcome for ECF, BTW...as like 
other volunteer projects we never have enough documentation, and our 
resources are limited. 

And RE: your statement at the bottom:  "An interesting improvement would 
be the construction of a Dynamic Proxy on top of the domain object to 
handle the sharing concern or just use an aspect to transparently 
decorate objects that are properly annotated".  I agree completely with 
you...this would be a *very* interesting addition.  Another aspect to 
this...we are soon going to be adding an r-OSGi-based 
(http://r-osgi.sourceforge.net/) implementation of the ECF 
remoteservices API, and r-OSGi uses ASM (http://asm.objectweb.org/) to 
create dynamic proxies.  Once approved via IP process, we can/could also 
use ASM to create dynamic sharedobject proxies as you describe.
