I didn't mean like CORBA or DCOM, but probably directly copying over 
program binaries (DLLs or SOs and precompiled binaries and similar), and 
probably using traditional compilation and linking.


or if you mean like network communication?...

fair enough.

well, I meant for code and other resources.

or, to you mean putting code in the database as well?...

(like, put the JAR in a data-blob and fetch it out via a SELECT or 
something?...).

I have a web-server I am running on an old laptop, it uses Windows XP, 
Apache, and also has PHP, MySQL, and MediaWiki...
