Is it possible to ask the remoting system whether there are currently any
client instances of a server object?
[or is that knowledge only mainted in reverse - as in the client knows about
it's server?]

Thanks (hope this question ain't to ass-about-face!)

No there isn't. You would have to write your own server side logic to track
your clients. You could use the call context to pass your client
identification - ip address, name, etc. - to the server. I'm not sure if
you can automatically detect when the proxy on the client side is garbage
collected or disconnected. You might have to add a method on your object to
signal you are done with your object on the client side.

Check out this example:

Remoting Call Context

Thanks,

Sam
