access to an EJB home object from a standalone client

[Shankar Ranganathan]

In the EJB 1.1 spec, access to an EJB home object from a standalone client must take place via which one of the following?
a RMI over JRMP
b It is left to the container provider to decide.
c CORBA over IIOP
d RMI over IIOP
e CORBA over any protocol
Ans . Some of them are saying b. I clearly see in the ejb1.1 spec , ejb1.1 remote interfaces will be mapped to corba protocols.

This is what Monson-Haefel says
" The underlying protocol used by remote clients to access enterprise beans can be anything the vendor wants as long as it supports the types of interfaces and arguments that are compatible with Java RMI-IIOP."
So I guess it is b.

Do you say it can be DCOM. If the specification allows like Sun won't have any control over EJB and it would be the vendor who would be controlling.
If you see in ejb1.1 spec and in the section
"Overall goals" they say it would be mapped to corba protocols. Kindly just verify it and give your opinion.
