Apacher River over Internet

[Sergio Gomes <se...@fedeltapos.com>]

Hi, I have an client/server application using Apache River using the
BasicJeriExporter over tcp/ip. Now I have a requirement to use it across
the Internet (currently using local network). How could be it done? I saw
Apache River can communicate using IIOP, would it be a good approach? Has
someone tried to use Apache River over IIOP?

Thank you.

Could you perhaps write and put on the web site a short "best practices" 
article on this?

Across the internet, you loose access to multi-cast only discovery.  So, your client must use unicast and the service must advertise/join a unicast capable lookup service (Reggie).   I’ve used Jini across long distance network paths for quite some time, and it works just fine as long as you use unicast (direct IP addresses).  For outside of an intranet access to an intranet lookup service and then for access to the discovered service, you will need to take firewall configuration into account most likely.  Port forwarding will be required if there is an networking barriers such as NATing routers etc.

One potential approach is to create a service that registers a proxy that
is capable of communicating across networks.
