General talk about software patterns

OK, I'll bite.

"As always, we should praise the wisdom of the Designer for the versatility and simplicity of nature’s patterns and beautiful design. "

I'm really not sure this is the forum for religious comments. But, that aside, I looked at the JtInterface and all it is is:

java.lang.Object

processMessage(java.lang.Object msg)

(http://freedom.lunarpages.com/Jt/docs/api/Jt/JtInterface.html)

This really isn't very useful. Where is the type safety? How am I any richer for implementing what is really a fairly nondescript signature?

Subject: [patterns-discussion] Messaging Design Pattern and transparent access to distributed components

Dear List members,

Please find enclosed a link to a draft discussing the Messaging Design Pattern and a distributed component model:

Any feedback would be appreciated,

Messaging Design Pattern and transparent access to distributed components

 

Abstract

 

This paper discusses a distributed component model based on the messaging design pattern (MDP). This pattern is utilized to implement transparent and secure access to remote components in a distributed environment. Our model also demonstrates how software engineering processes and techniques can be improved by using MDP.  For instance, it has been used for the implementation of Service Oriented Architecture (SAO) and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) technologies. At the core of these technologies lies the need for communication between components and applications. This communication challenge is exactly the one that MDP targets and solves.
