Jim,
Keep in mind that JINI significantly predates all of the current Web
Services efforts, not just here but anywhere. Technically, SOAP at
Microsoft *might* predate JINI, but JINI was out and about (in so far as it
has ever gained much marketshare) before Web Services as we know them.
In any event, I think that overlap could be considered in terms of potential
synergies (technical and community). Those are things that I'd like to see
more from Synapse (WSDL focused ESB), Tuscany (SCA focused ESB) and
ServiceMix (JBI focused ESB), for example. I am quite interested to see
what JINI will bring to the table in terms of inter-operability and added
value at a time when most people are focused on models based on BPEL and
WSDL-described services. And I do believe that it has such to offer.
