Nature:  Clarification
Severity: 
Summary: Summary: It does not appear to be clear in the AMI model whether in a non
 TII mode, a reply handler object can be one outside the process
 which issued the AMI request.
 
 For example, in section 3.3.1 AMI Components
 
 ReplyHandler - A ReplyHandler is an Object which encapsulates the functionality
 for handling an asynchronous reply. It is used for callback model reply handling.
 
 
 and then in section 3.3.2 TII Components
 
 Persistent Reply Handler - A ReplyHandler whose Object reference is created
 by a POA with a PERSISTENT LifeSpan Policy. The Persistent Reply Handler
 may be implemented by a process other than the one that issued the request.

It does not appear to be clear in the AMI model whether in a non
TII mode, a reply handler object can be one outside the process
which issued the AMI request.

For example, in section 3.3.1 AMI Components

ReplyHandler - A ReplyHandler is an Object which encapsulates the
functionality
for handling an asynchronous reply. It is used for callback model
reply handling.


and then in section 3.3.2 TII Components

Persistent Reply Handler - A ReplyHandler whose Object reference is
created
by a POA with a PERSISTENT LifeSpan Policy. The Persistent Reply
Handler
may be implemented by a process other than the one that issued the
request.


But nowhere (that I can find) in the spec does it say (as I believe it

probably should) that a regular ReplyHandler MUST be implemented in
the
same process as that which issued request, and more importantly, it
does
not say how such an action would be detected, and what exception would
be thrown to who.
