well in standalone mode. We need a way to install a director on registration.

(not by its superclasses), we need to rise through its superclasses as well
in order to find the provider interface.

use JVM generated proxies, nix marshaller/dispatcher."
The idea was to use Proxy.newProxyInstance to magically create (at runtime)
proxies for FooService interfaces instead of generating a bunch of boilerplate
code. I figured something similar could be done for FooDispatcher on the server
side.
However, we also generate C++ and ActionScript marshallers, and those aren't
ever going away (AS might support some sort of dynamic magic to do what we
need, but C++ sure don't). So I decided to leave the marshaller side of things
as is.
I did revamp the dispatcher side of things to eliminate the need for
FooDispatcher on the server. This turned out not to even require the use of
something so magical as java.lang.reflect.Proxy, because in this case we're
just reading in method ids over the network (and arguments), and calling the
appropriate method. Such mundane activities are easily accomplished with the
regular reflection API.
The existing dispatcher stuff still works as well, of course, and though the
conversion from the old style to the new style is pretty simple:
< invmgr.registerDispatcher(new FooDispatcher(fooprov))
> invmgr.registerProvider(fooprov, FooMarshaller.class)
there's no burning need to convert things over. Fortunately, there's no
(compatibility) impact on client projects to converting Narya and Vilya, so
I'll be doing that shortly. There will be a miniscule performance impact, but I
think the cost of a single reflective method call, given that all of its
arguments were read and unmarshalled from the network, will be a good distance
south of immaterial.

ActionScript bits remain belligerent, but the Java stuff is mostly shipshape.
