What's mostly missing in that picture is asynchonicity; typically,
dependents are not serialized into an object database. Probably for good
reasons, too ;-), but I miss it now and then.

I do agree that this thing might turn out to look a lot like an OODB.

Oh, Michael: read the original Addison-Wesley Jini and Javaspaces books.
Wrong language, yes, but generally a very good overview of the various
bits and pieces you are going to need in lots of distributed
architectures.
