Re: [JBoss-user] connecting to jboss/jetty with something else then web-browser

[Gaetan Z. <g.z...@bs...>]

Hi,

We have developed a communication layer based on http that don't use 
SOAP ( I don't like the idea of the xml serialization ). It allows you 
to make you call on stateless and statefull beans just like an RMI call.
The idea is to use the RMI or Http service factory to retrieve the 
reference on your EJB the communication layer used then depends on this 
first choice. We use a simple authentification based on a logon and 
password stored on the server side in the web session. For the moment we 
don't encrypt the stream. It works very well. You can try it with 
webstart and download the code at www.bs-factory.org .

We have developed this solution to be independant of the app server but 
maybe you should try the Jboss http invoker.
