Misleading Java/CORBA/SOAP Statement (Score 2)

The article seems to imply that Sun has standardized on CORBA as the way to do distributed applications with Java. I don't really think that's true. Most distributed Java applications that Sun has created use RMI, which is not CORBA. CORBA just happens to map very easily to Java, which is why there are plenty of implementations for it.

People might also read this and get the impression that you can't do SOAP with Java. There's a couple of SOAP implementations for Java, most notably the one from IBM alphaWorks.
