This is currently our #1 risk. I agree that there is a conflict in terms of timeframe and existing features. I don't see that there is any inherent conflict with an efficient messaging transport and an rpc transport. Its just an issue of correctly layering the concepts. The only question in my mind is whether there are sufficient issues in the tradeoff between performance and the overhead of a layered transport implementation. At this point I don't see that we can make that call. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3979159#...
