Scott,

I looked at this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connectionless_protocol  
and I see what you are getting at. True connectionless protocols are  
based on UDP or IP. As soon as you have TCP/IP you have a connection.  
ok.

So I think what I meant was a protocol that does not have a persistent  
connection. So a connection that is kept over the lifecyle of the  
service proxy and is not closed after each remote service invocation.

So R-OSGi, the generic server provider and also XMPP over a XMPP  
server, they are all holding on to a persistent connection all the  
time independant of the remote service calls you are making ?

right ?
