Actually, it's pretty much exactly like that :-) ... the only thing here is trying to match what XBeans is doing in terms of how data is transferred around.

And to answer someone else as pointed out in this thread, yes, XML would seem to be inefficient, but a hidden advantage of using XML as transfer mechanisms would be that beads would not necessarily have to lie on the same computer; the bead could easily be a report server that does something with XML and return XML back, or could be a client bead talking to a server bead, etc. In addition, beads would not necessary need to talk to other beads; using XML allows anything to be inserted into the mechanism as long as it understands the XML. Using perl internals would be nice, but at some point if you cross the machine boundary, you need to serialize the objects, and XML is a very convinent way to do this.
