Drop client/server remoting support?

[Dan Haywood <da...@haywood-associates.co.uk>]

Rob/others...

I'd really like to drop our support for client/server remoting.

We've realized since it was first implemented that the caching of the
client-side objects are - shall we say - suspect.  One the Irish pensions
the systems integrator implemented some workarounds which makes it
practical for them, but these are adhoc in nature and I don't think they
correctly belong in a general-purpose framework.

Thoughts?

Dan

And where client/server support is required, it would seem the defacto
client is hosted in the browser, eg Javascript, Silverlight or Flash.  For
all of these I'm thinking that our implementation of
http://restfulobjects.org within Isis' json-viewer should suffice.

Hi Dan,

Ever since I had issues with the client / server layer being unable to 
handle recursive entities lists, I've not used it.

I suppose that, like with Richard's Naked Objects MVC, client / server 
implementations are tending to be web based, too..

In short, +1 from me.

Regards,
Kevin
