Hi Suzanne and rooters,

turning back to ROOT/Java bridge... Have you got any farther success
with the development? Anyhow, could you comment my thoughts about 
remote ROOT script execution? It is very good that we can read ROOT
files via rootd or httpd but what I would like to be able to do is
to have a client-server scheme which lets a user to write scripts on
his/her side (for example in my R-Quant Data Analysis Studio), execute
it on a powerful server where the data files are located and then get
back resulting ROOT objects (Graphs, Hists or just numbers). I assume you
have an experience of working with Java and other object distributed
client/server models. Could you comment the above? Could you suggest
any existinf scheme (DCOM, Corba or whatsoever) that ROOT can try to follow?
I think this feature can be very helpful for the whole community.

Best regards,
Anton

I also want to reiterate that the ROOT Java package will NOT make the ROOT
classes available in Java. It simply adds the cabability to ROOT to be
operated over the net with an applet or application in a client server mode.
The fact that it is written in Java is acctually irrelevant.

Are you planning on using it and if so what for? This is important to know
for me, so that I may consider your needs. Please send me a brief
description.
