[jira] Commented: (JCR-206) Extend the current RMI implementation to support IIOP

["Jukka Zitting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-206?page=comments#action_12322949 ] 

Jukka Zitting commented on JCR-206:
-----------------------------------

Sounds like a nice and relatively straightforward extension to the current RMI implementation. The only major problem I can think of is that the current implementation relies quite heavily on the RMI distributed garbage collector to close remote references. If we were to add IIOP support, we'd need to be much more careful in managing the object lifecycles.

Is there much demand for this feature? I'm somewhat interested in working on this. Please comment or vote this issue if you'd like this feature to be implemented.

> In order to get remote access to jackrabbit from .NET it would make sense to extend the current RMI implementation to support RMI-IIOP [1]. The use of projects like IIOP.NET from http://iiop-net.sourceforge.net/ would then be possible.
