Useful info thanks.

Oh Nuno, you should know better. What you need is an EJB to do the app
specific processing and a web service invoked via soap to handle all
the interapp communications and business rules (J2EE and .Net handled
ther). Put your business rules in a (probably serialized)  web
service, your app specific in your EJB, your data in a black box
RDBMS, your security via an authentication appliance. naturally you'll
need to do all of this with a RAC back end an app server data farm or
even grid. That client server stuff that just worked is so 1990s.
