: I dont think the article can argue Waldo's A note on distributed computing is biased. His paper is the seminal "limitations of dist-comp" paper and was written while Sun were wholeheartedly backing CORBA -they were one of the co-founders of the OMG, after all. Java RMI came along a lot later; Java ships with a (dated) ORB and even EJB defaults to IIOP as its protocol. Admittedly the paper applies to more than just CORBA; it applies to anything that tries to make remote stuff look local (SOAP, Java RMI, DCOM). But it is valid in Corba, because a corba OID doesnt include any ___location hints at all; you have to use an Orb to find things. <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[User:SteveLoughran|SteveLoughran]] ([[User talk:SteveLoughran|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/SteveLoughran|contribs]]) 12:02, 27 February 2007 (UTC).</small><!-- HagermanBot Auto-Unsigned -->
: Also, I don't know how "fundamentally false" the notion of ___location transparency is. I do think its impossible to make a service on a remote system appear to be something local, and not have it fail in unusual ways (e.g NFS timeouts blocking file access operations). What may be possible is for programs to be written to talk to a system that is remote, without caring where the remote system is. Perhaps "fundamentally false" should be downgraded to "impossible to maintain in the face of network failures" [[User:SteveLoughran|SteveLoughran]] 17:37, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
