    Spring greatly simplifies RMI. Best seen on example at
    http://www.roseindia.net/spring/springpart4.shtml

    How likely it is this service to be implemented by you or any active team
    member by the end of April? Wouldn't this feature push Cayenne more into
    enterprise league? It seems nobody is using Cayenne in the middle tier and
    pass data objects to presentation tier. If this would work transparently, it
    would save a lot of manual work coding DTOs and merging to/from them to/from
    data objects.
