Is just that In theory, Java should be the language of choice for developing smart-agents. However, has anyone used Java for this purpose out there ? Does anyone have any Java class (a kind of middleware or tool kits) to faciliate the processing of the CGIs e.g. parsing parameters, creating the associative array etc. Is JavaORB (Cobra) in the public domain ?
