Beyond J2EE and Jini is ... ?

Talip Ozturk writes about J2EE and Jini and what is relationship between them:

(...)They are not truely competing technologies rather complementary technologies. if you are writing a J2EE server, you can use Jini's dynamic, self healing features. if a Jini service needs to persist data in a way that entity beans does, then the Jini service can make use of a J2EE server to do that. if you are writing JMS implementation, you might want to leverage Jini JavaSpaces technology. JNDI might internally be interfacing with Jini Lookup Service to gain some dynamic behaviour.(...)

I think that distributed computing is changing with advent of Web Services and in particular Grids. The feature may be something like distributed container that is dynamically created from available services (similar to Jini but on Internet scale) that guaranteed to have all required resources such as performance, bandwidth, transactions etc. as described in SLA, QoS, ... (in this respect it is meeting and superseding requirements of J2EE).

Anyway only future can really tell and some technologies seem to stay longer (or shorter) than predicted.
