I really do not think I have missed the point. Java is a technology applied to the NC device. Java does not need the NCA to succeed, it is already a success. The real question is if corporations want to buy into the NCA architecture in an effort to quickly introduce new devices on the network. In a very abstract sense corporations have already spoken on this front by dismissing the AppleTalk protocol. Certainly using AppleTalk it was VERY easy to introduce new devices on the network. Problem, chatty protocol which slowed down the information sharing. Granted NCA has some hardware performing handshaking with the server instead of software. The question you should ask yourself is should corporations buy into the somewhat closed NCA in an effort to leverage open technologies like Java? Can you grasp what I am saying? As far as speed of Java execution and bandwidth... ORCL does not have an lock on JDBC. Many vendors provide native communications protocols to run JDBC on top of. The real speed advantage comes from how you architect your solution. Data buffering, multi-tier, etc... syborg
