Zusammenfassung:This paper reports on the experiences we gained while trying to build an interpreter for a new programming language aimed at developing strong mobile software. The interpreter is actually a distributed virtual machine that can be used in a peer-to-peer setting on a heterogeneous platform. In our quest for an experimental implementation, simplicity and portability led us to using a combination of Java and SOAP technologies. The paper reports on the problems we encountered in this experiment and shows that SOAP is inadequate in peer-to-peer communication that cannot afford fat servers to run on all nodes.
