Hello,
Browsing the web & newsgroups, it looks like this problem doesn't
have any kind of easy solution, but let's see if someone knows different.
I want to have a RMI client behind a firewall and a RMI server
behind another firewall. I don't have any control over the firewalls.
I know port 80 will be open for http traffic, but that's it.
The web server on either side isn't the same as the machine running
the RMI client or server.
I want the client to be able to call methods on server objects
and also to enable callbacks from the server to the client.
What can be done in this case? I've read the RMI docs at Sun,
browsed through a few dozen webpages & news messages, and the
situation looks pretty dark, actually. Maybe someone has cause
for optimism here. Thanks for any information.
