The application is basically a huge piece of coursework. Its not commercial, and probably wont be developed after the deadline at all.
I'll have to talk to the server alot, so the decision I have made is probably bad for efficiency(!), but efficiency isnt the main concern. The work is more of a learning exercise, focusing on project management, so a great program isnt required.
I'm relectant to use RMI, being as its a Java only solution. I'm hoping to write servers in multiple languages (well, 2), to show the application can be easily expanded, and if I'm using RMI then thats not the case. Also, Java is the language I have most experience with, in general, and I'm looking to branch out, in anyway, to other languages.
I can appreciate that RMI is probably a better overall solution for what I am trying to do though, and I will try and look into it sometime.
Thanks for your help, it is appreciated,

The server is also written in Java (I am writing the server as well
However, I'd much prefer to use CORBA. I've settled on sending the data values that make up the objects to the server, as a string, then instantiating the objects on the server, doing the calculation, and then just returning the value result.
Probably not the best solution (probably very slow?), but I know how to do it, which is good.
I'm still looking for alternative though, or criticisms on my method, or anything, I'm just keen to learn

Hello,
If I have a java vector of objects, can I pass it across a network using CORBA, so that the server has a copy of the objects? Then the server can do some calculations (by calling methods in the objects), and return a result?
I know CORBA doesnt directly support vectors, so is it possible to use a sequence? Or a series of structs? At a push, I know I could send the objects as a string, but then, I wouldnt be able to use their methods.
eg. I have a vector with three objects, A,B,C. Can I send this to another computer, and have that computer run object A, which would call methods in object B and object C, and return a result?
I hope thats clear enough, and thanks for your time. (I have looked around the web, and a few books, but havent found anything that I can understand to help).
