Nile is a high performance, heterogeneous, fault tolerant, distributed
operating system that gives users transparent access to distributed
computer resources for processing high energy physics data. We have
implemented two versions of Nile Control System in Java -- one with CORBA
and the other with RMI. Our experience utilizing Nile in the CLEO
experiment has shed new light on service, performance, scalability, and
programming issues of these two technologies. We describe the ways we have
met challenges from CORBA and RMI and their effects on implementation and
performance of resource management, fault tolerance, and security.
