Cool. The rebirth of mobile code. Hmm, what would happen if you build Jini from Javascript instead of Java? If using Rhino/a JVM, you could still get the transports and security on a Java node, but with availability on .NET too (I'm assuming there's a sane Javascript engine for .NET outside of the IE gui layer).
Using javascript would make getting continuations easier too for distributed workflow / stateful apps.
So we could build a Jini network using web services for the transport (just to be en vogue, though plain http for browsers might be more interesting) with the code being Javascript to keep it dynamic and platform independent. Cool, something to chat about at the upcoming Jini meeting.
