The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Serialize and Persist remote objects to Java and C# apps over Internet and Intranet

Gurus:

I am redesigning our application architecture and one of the concepts I want to inject is an ORM and centralized business logic w/Web services. I know the basics of ORM, and have an in-house ORM written in Perl I want to retire.

I want to use a single backend server to map objects to/from my Oracle database, and serve remote clients by serializing those objects out to remote Winform clients as well as Intranet Java, Perl and Ruby applications.

Here is my initial thinking:

Relational DB <-> ORM <-> (Web Services | Serialization Channel) <-> (Winform clients | ASP.NET apps | Ruby utilities)

1) Use C# as the Web services server, do serialization with SOAP, even though it is bulky. C# does XML and SOAP serialization out of the box. I can use NHibernate as the basis for the server.

2) I can use a Java server, Hibernate, and some sort of serialization technique.

Problem is I do not know what is out there, especially on the Java side. Which will interoprate with multiple languages.

3) Is there some sort of proxy solution, where I can run an ORM builtin to the client GUI app, that proxies over HTTP? I want to use ORM so I don't have to write the data access code for each object, but in my current design, I have to instantiate an object at the server level to serialize it out over the web. Am I on the wrong track with using the lower level .NET serialization stuff, and should I just move right to full SOAP/WSDL framework?

Thanks in advance.
