LMAO. I just love this list. (I know I'm not very much active in here

Indeed. We're gonna use for sure PolyORB or ORBit-Ada.

That's one of the reasons I don't like J2EE. Dealing with objects is
low level? But that deserves another topic.

Yes, but I think we might develop a generic framework first - just
like the ones easily found in the J* world but without the "create a
XML describing your interface, then a XML describing your service and
then a XML describing your database. Then you write the application
and hope it works in production environment" stuff.

Maybe it's gonna be just like JBoss used to be (a "software" that is
in fact several other software packed together in a somewhat organized
way).

I have some design ideas I'd love to share and discuss with everyone
on the list but they aren't mature enough for this yet.
