[Mono-devel-list] Application Blocks

[john bailo]

One of the critical shortcomings of .NET technology web services is the 
effective use of global objects.

Obviously, many of us want to write and use global files, documents, and so 
on, but at best, a Web service can only use a value object which can be 
stored and retrieved from the Application object or Cache.

Now, with Application Blocks, such as the Cache block, Microsoft ( and this is 
new stuff ) makes global objects accessible to multiple application sources 
and users.

Question: Does or will mono implement this technology for Linux ?   I feel 
it's /absolutely/ critical.   Not only that, but Microsoft has open sourced 
the Block technology.
