>file upload in Hotjava??? OK. But why burden the server with anything more than a reference to an object? That would require a distributed namespace implemented in Java. And if we could get beyond naming, a lot of cool facilities would be possible such as replication, process migration, agents, distributed queries, as well as your favorite list of facilities. Why limit the Web to being a big "file system" when systems like Lotus Notes or Microsoft Network tell us that there a better ways of doing things and these involve ease of replication, storage, scripting and ability to compose arbitrary chunks of content? However it seems that even naming such a web-wide file system is a substantial innovation for the web, not likely to happen soon. mj
