Hello List,
we have the following problem:
An intranet client is using RMI to communicate with jboss. Now some people outside the intranet need be able to use the client, too. i have read within this forum that it isn´t very easy to open a two level firewall for rmi because jboss uses dynamic ports. Beside of this, a remote client can also have access to the internet through it's own firewall.
So we decided to switch to RMI over HTTP. Everything works fine with the communication from outside the firewall, but within the intranet it isn´t possible to connect to the application server anymore. Due to the two-firewalls architecture it isn´t possible to get a connection to the first irewall
because within the configuration of the http invoker we have to insert the hostname of it.
To locate the jboss within the DMZ is no option because of security issues.
Then we thought its no problem to configure a second invoker. RMI and RMI over HTTP at the same time. That would be no problem how it is described in the documentation.
BUT:
How is it possible to configure the ClientUserTransaction on both invokers ?
I read the whole forum and the whole documentation. I always found only descriptions for RMI or HTTP but never for both together.
Is there no posibitlity to configure jboss to use two invokers, HTTP for the firewall-communication and RMI for the local communication?
Because of our client-architecture we have to use ClientUserTransactions.
Kind Regards
Max Wittmann
