Borland's new JBuilder 2 "Bean" supplier RWAVE (symbol) took it on the nose today sinking ~45% on lower than expected revenues due to restructuring and trying to integrate a newly acquired company.

Excellent article, 'ceptin' for this: Unfortunately, native server-side Java technologies, such as servlets and RMI, weren't designed to easily bridge cross-language borders. This is like saying hard-disks were improperly designed because they can't be used to store and retrieve data from 9-track tape and that's putting it kindly. RMI was designed to enhance and extend components written in Java, not BASIC, COBOL or FORTH. For that, Nike dispensed with Java's native server-side technologies and went instead with the Object Management Group's CORBA, a distributed object framework. DUH! Thats' why they have CORBA. I mean, they make this sound like they had to embark on some sort of rigorous evaluation in order to discover that RMI was designed for homogeneous Java applications and that CORBA was designed, by and large, to bridge with and between legacy languages.
