String domain_name = "foo.com" ;
Joe orb = new Joe("regestry.whatever.tld") ;
DomainFactory dn_factory = orb.find("DomainFactory") ;

try{
	DomainRef domain_ref = dn_factory.create("foo.com") ;

System.out.println("Congraadualtions You have won the timeing test!!!")
System.out.println("You are the sole owner of this domain and now you may")
System.out.println("complete the application process.")

I would like to point out once again a protocol *EXISTS* and before you
continue this thread tring to develop a locking I would suggest
tring out your assumptions on the server that is running on
http://sentosa.ar.com

Kent, I hope you do write it then we can run some tests to see who's
server deadlocks under what conditions and whos is faster, gee I might even
write mine again using oracle to see just how the RDBMS systems do compaired
to the OODB. Oh, while you are at it please make sure to provide a means
to ensure the byte ordering is correct, and dont forget to suport
some type of indexing mechanism so that we might look up these objects.
and hey a WWW interface would be nice but it doesnt have to be in java.


Thanks,

-Rick
