[JDEV] JAM for object technology interoperability... as Jabber does IM interoperability

[ogeorge at lor.jeremie.com]

Hey cool so i'll bite.

One of my specific interests is to see object technologies become easy and 
friendly on Linux.

I recently had call to write an ASP page and access some COM objects.  It was 
so quick and easy.  I have previously tried to achieve similar goals in 
perl/python with CORBA and it was not very pretty at all.  Both these 
experiences left me feeling dirty.

What i want is to write this in python (or every other language)...

  import jam
  con = jam.connect()
  chatt = con.reference("jam://chatt.localhost")
  chatt.somefunc(args)

but it makes complete sence that the object i am referencing should be any type 
of distributed object as they all have the same functionality.

This is how i came about being interested, i have lots more issues which are of 
equal importance now but this was what set me off.

cheers, Oliver.
