Subject: NW`s transparent progress


Hello.

My idea is now stumbling at the points we got at the last meeting. 
  1)How does a sender know whether a message is sync or async ?
  2)Does a network visible object publish the i/f ?
    Is there a difference between network visible and process visible methods ?

The point to be needed is that we should offer some mechanism
which tells the messaging interface of the target object to a client.
But how ?

I guess IDL(Interface Definition Language) from OMG is very helpful,
but it will lead me to the idea that AM2 objects will be built on OMG` CORBA 
from the biginning.  This is really annoying me because the idea forces me back 
and conflicts with the currrent model based on inter-application messaging.

I am now investigating OMG's CORBA document and try to find a solution.

And can we have a meeting on this problem on one of the followings ?
I will make some resume by the date.

	DATE	8(Mon)	14:00 - 15:00
		9(Tue)	14:00 - 15:00
	       10(Wed)	14:00 - 15:00

Thank you.

Tomi
