GRIDRPC

Questions:
1). What are the advantages of GRIDRPC vs WEB Services?
2). It looks to me that the API was written in 'C' or 'C++' and
so it forces developers to use either 'C' or 'C++' to develop their RPC applications?

web services and gridrpc

the way i understood it, it is a wrapper around existing service APIs - which may or may not translate to web services.

if i would have to implement it on top of a stateless WS service, i would keep the session management state purely in 
the client. this is also the only reason i could find why the 'default' connection function would make sense - this API 
is always tied to an underlying implementation and service.

if this was not the intention, but a real remote call over a web service and it would mandate the web service to keep a 
connection and session state, i think its adoption is questionable.
