Automation App

[Andrew Rapp <al...@yahoo.com>]

I'm looking for a Java network framework that would allow me to
connect to a server on the internet, from behind a firewall and let the
server control
the calling process.  Basically I'm looking for a form of RMI, but
where server is initiating calls back to the client process, once the client connects.  I have no
ability to do port forwarding on the client's firewall.  Does JXTA support
this?  If not any suggestions?  Thanks,

Andrew

Hey Andrew,

By no means this is an advertisement of Openfire. :) Openfire is an XMPP
server (real-time communication protocol based on XML) that uses MINA.
In XMPP you can use RPC or ad-hoc commands to control remote entities
(e.g. servers, clients, components, etc.). Clients usually connect to
XMPP servers on port 5222. Connections could be encrypted or
unencrypted.

Regards,
