Ted,

The 'Secure' in your mail is bothering me. AFAIK JXME does not include
security at this moment (due to midp limitations according to the
whitepaper), so if we're going to base control equipment on it we'll have
a potential nightmare on our hands.

I'm not up to speed with the JXTA 2.0 spec, but from what I understand 
this will not change the security issues for JXME.

Hmmm, from your proposal drawing it looks like you're proposing a PC to
host the embedlet, so the full JXTA stack is available with all security
features. Makes for a nice demo, but using embedded Java hardware would be
more impressive and on target for what we set out to do, wouldn't it?  :-)

Regards,

Jac
